Everyone should do this......seriously....

Great idea, especially for us non-"motorheads". I believe even I would recognize a missing bolt. I think I'll try to get under mine this weekend and have a look-see. Plus if one is missing, I'm good with duct tape, actually I've become a fan of Gorilla Tape. I always thought the little clunk I hear was one of the marbles rolling around in my head, but who knows it may be a loose or missing tranny mount bolt.

I had associated the clunk to sway bar bushings or shocks or something else.

Totally shocked that SOOO much was corrected by that one bolt.

can you take pics so i know exactly where you are talking about? i remember reading one of the threads about this but i only remember one bolt underneath the trans on the mount - i dont have the vx with me today or i would go look to make sure

I believe even I would recognize a missing bolt. I don't know, are ya sure?? I always thought the little clunk I hear was one of the marbles rolling around in my head, .....I still think that's what it is, but then you and I are about equally skilled in things motorhead related......

Actually, went through my "VX folder" over the weekend with print outs of any post I keep for reference for my mechanic, and the tranny bolt thing was one of them I flagged to have my mech check out, since I live on my famous horrible dirt/rocky road. I'm certainly a candidate for loose bolts in these conditions. Thanks JAMAS for bringing it up! Underscores how important it is!

Hmmm; for those getting the "belly pan" KILBY skidplates, it would be a damn good idea to check those bolts BEFORE installation because the KILBY will cover-up everything with a solid sheet of steel.
