transmission screw holes stripped!!!

[SuperMaxx97]

hey guys, i was out running my truck today, i have a 22t cb with a 72t rrp metal spur. i was messing around in the gravel and it just sat in place and did nothing. i figured it was my clutch bell that got all messed up. so i brought it back in my house and i was looking at it. i grapped the tranny and i was able to move it around. interesting, so i took and flipped the truck over and i only had 2 screws holding it in. OH poop i said. so i went in my box got some more screws out and put them in. i dont know how long they will hold and i dont know how to keep them in there. does anybody got any ideas??

To fix your problem you can buy a transmission repair kit or a new case. I decided to try the transmission repair kit. I was able to pick it up off ebay for a couple of bucks. It even comes with the drill bit. All you do is drill the holes out, install the brass insert and reinstall. I will see if I can find the name of the guy who I bought mine from.

I am not sure. I have never heard that tip before. Give it a try. The worst that could happn is that it doesn't work and you end up buying a new case.

A cure

Regarding your tranny screws going AWOL. I never had this problem, but I had read about this happening.
I bought a Fullforce RC 3mm Threaded Insert Kit made especially for the T-MAXX tranny.
This works great, but I warn you, have a vice handy, those inserts are trick to squeeze into the tranny casing.
