I have used those brass things from tony's screws and they are working out awsome I was atarting to go through a spur gear every other tank before i realized the couple stripped bolts holding the tranny... the classic that comes with the 2.5 and the black tranny is 3mm and the new 3.3 that comes with the grey tranny are 4mm just so you know what size to get.... you just drill the holes out and push those in and when you tighten the screws they spread alittle so they wont strip or slip out...... great invesment if you dont want to keap buying cases or like a 50 - 90 dollar metal trans case....... yeah you want the engine just as tight as that tranny or you will keap stripping stuff........ it saves time and money to fully go through the rig if there is a major glitch like the tranny and motor is loose.... you are gonna want to go through your rig and tighten and locktight a few screws..... GOOD LUCK

And who are you refering to everyone I have read have been trying to point out your problems... the same as what I said only they used a few less words and a different way to get there.. everyone means well on here.....
 
Get you some of these~~Engine Mount bolts for $7.

Or some of the Lundsford Fat Boy(long) engine mount screws.

Best dollar to spend on mount bolt's hands down.

Here's mine, no more loose mount screws!
