Transaxle motor mount bolts
It's been a while since I last posted, but here we go!
In changing the axle on the diver's side of my '93 Grand Caravan, 3.3 liter, I broke the center bolt on the transaxle motor mount. I drilled oversize to M12 from M10 and tightened the three bolts, the center one tightened and then spun.
I took the bolts out today and the center bolt split the "ear" away from the transaxle, so I'm
thinking there is little to do to recover that bolt hole.
My question is: Can I continue with reassembling everything, omitting the center bolt, and have the mount be strong enough with only the left and the right bolts holding the mount to the transaxle????
I sure hope so!!
Thanks guys...

You maybe okay for a while. But if you need to repair the bolt hole, You may want to order a new case and transfer all the parts into the new case or replace the transmission with a reman.
