Transmission bolts loose
As the title states all my bolts were loose and I have tightened them up several times before. What is the trick to keeping them from backing out?
I put star washer's on them this time with RTV. I hope this will do it. Want to know what all u have used. I even thought about putting longer bolts in it and nuts on them.

Re: Transmission bolts loose
I have just used new split lock washers every time and they've never come loose....I think I have torqued to 35 ft/lbs.

Re: Transmission bolts loose
That's what I started to use but found the star washers and figured they be a little better. I just hope they hold tight!
