i can see the brocken piece its prety deep inside dont thunk i can drill then tap it out without screwing it up!

levey is an auto tranny too.

can you get an ezy out in there?

it might be right, but once the temp gets up, it may leak. if it was like that before, it will probably be right as you say for another 10years, but while its out, if you can fix it, why not.

can you find anoter bolt to fit if there is some thread or possibly a sleved bot to just clamp it down slightly?

something like whats on the left, but hollow on one end to grip the thread left on the broken stud, then a normal nut over the top to just clamp it down.

yer the one that was broken was the left of the filter see theres 2 holes go down from second to third theres were the stud was broken from!

shouldnt matter at all i guse as theres plenty of bolts holding it!

That's a lot of bolts ...

Those are tough and reliable transmissions (JATCO 3N71B).

If the stud was broken previously and if it worked well for some unknown time, I wouldn't be surprised if it continues to work another 10 years.

how many other bolts hold it? what shape and size is it?

hi i just serviced my auto trany in the 120y with new filter when i opened the sump there was a broken threded stud with a nut on it in the pan and i can see that it broke from the filter it help hold it together!

theres heaps of bolts holding the filter just this one was broken just wanted to know if it will do any harm if i leave it like this the filter is fully secure from what i can see!

thanks!
