saweet. Figured it would.

For what's it worth...we just got a metal milling lathe and drill press at work. What can we make???

 

Hey justin...I looked, and the bolt is gold in color. It does have the #7 on it. It's 14mm. I looked everywhere with every kind of light and angles and can't locate where it came from.

Is there any internal that have the same marking/size? I didn't think so..just the pressure plate bolts, and I believe they are much smaller. I mean, I've checked everything. It's not one of the 3 on top of the trans waaaay in the back, none under the lower rad pipe..I just can't seem to find it's home. Any ideas?

They're picking up the car tomorrow.

 

Another question, Something I noticed was the drivers side top trans mount seems to be un-even. I'll post up a pic looking down at it..but it seems that it's "leaning" back too much. It's almost touching metal to metal.

I don't think that's right...

 

hey that bolt can only go in the trans...

the ONLY bolt you cant see from the trans goes directly behind the t-case going from the pass side throguh the block to the trans... you cant even take it out or see it with the t-case still bolted up. its hard to even get the thing out with the t-case off...

i bet they forgot to put that fuqqar in... no **** you cant even see it unless the t-case is off the car

 

*****. I bet that's it. I'm telling you...i looked EVERYWHERE for any hole or something missing a bolt...i'm gonna post that pic of the mount in a second...

 

shoulda let me do it....

shoulda let me do it....

shoulda let me do it....

im an azzhole

 

hahaha...yeah....yeah...

 

^ doesn't it look like it's favoring the firewall? It seems the rubber is pushed out the front more than it should, like the trans and the whole thing is kinda crooked...??

 

yeah it does look like that... but you cant put it in wrong...does the "dog-bone" back trans mount look ok? the one against the firewall

 

I'll have to check. I checked that all the bolts were installed and tight...I didn't notice the mount being a little outta wack..

 

The rear motor mount looks fine. And the upper tcase bolt that goes to the block..I could "barely" see, but it's there.

They said the bolt came from their engine "mount" that goes across the top of the engine bay...coincidence it also had a #7 on it??!!?? hmmmm

Any ideas with this CEL?? I cleared it and it came back on?

 

yeah.. they are full of **** lol... dunno about the light homes.. what code?

 

p0134 o2 sensor, no activity bank 1 sensor 1

and p0011 camshaft position actuator A- bank 1 timing over advance.

You thing in getting to some of the hard to reach bolts on the back of the trans they f'd up the cam pos. sensor? In the searching I did, leads that code more to the mivec actuator/filter..something..

 

try retarding the timing some and see if that does anything. I wonder if when they did whatever they did to your power steering pump that maybe they did something with the timing... .check your marks

 

will have to do that...I noticed PS fluid running out of the resivour. wtf..when searching on here people were saying something about a filter for the oil to the mivec cam.

I cleared it, and when I started it the codes came back. I didn't drive it, just started it. Any chance they maybe damaged the cas/plug on the back right of the block since those top back bolts are a pita to get to?
