Missing transmission bolts?

[reichlejj]

I had to drop my skid a bit today to remove the exhaust. I noticed there was an area that looks like it needs to be bolted down. There was one bolt on the skid directly below these holes. I had this transmission installed about 6 months ago and haven't driven it around all that much in that time. Did they do a bad job at tightening these down? Is it even supposed to be bolted down here? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!

They did not tighten them at all. You need all 4 in place to stop from tearing up the transmission case. Take the one you have back to the shop and tell them to dig through their bolt bin and get you 3 more just like it. You will also have to loosen the one on the skid up to slide that into place.

Thanks Blaine! I'll definitely take it back to them to get those bolted back in there.
