It's a big round cement filled tube under the bellhousing. It's shaped like a wide horseshoe.
An (evidently) hack mechanic needed to drop my tranny, and to do so he sawzalled through this giant tube then welded it back in. His crappy welds are failing now and it's about to snap off.
I can't find any specs on this part, so if anyone knows it, please help me identify it.
Side note, he also snapped off all of the vertical bolts securing the tranny crossmember, so it's only held on by the horizontal bolts which I fear may shear off at any time. Bonus if you can get me any specs on those bolts. Is there a nut or do they thread to the frame? Part number?
Thanks explorers!
