broken front transaxle mount

[tazzifhu]

first off, did use the search button but seems like noones had this same exact problem. the whole mount assembly is fine but it was not connected to the tranny. upon further inspection the 2 top bolt holes are snapped in off but the lower one is intact. any way to weld the mount to the transmission or will the 1 lower bolt hold it? and its a 99 2.5 atx. any suggestion would be great. thx in advance

Do you mean the transaxle casing itself is damaged? If so, I've heard of that happening on one or two ATXs - I know it happened to Topik, and there was a thread in this forum a while back where someone else had it happen. Welding it is a possibility.

thx i work on the navy base and i know some navy welders who owes me so i may be sendin some side work to them. anything i should tell them to be really careful about or is it pretty cut and dry. and should i pull the tranny for them to weld it?

I think you do need to pull it... Take a look at this thread.
