I was minding my own business, working on my Transmission when DISASTER struck!

One of the best reasons for having a machine shop is you can make things like this. Considering the age of the transmission, I expect that attempting to find a replacement bolt would be about as close to impossible as you can get. Nice save, once, twice, thrice!

Not to mention what you would pay to have a local shop make you one.....and then another.

That was fun.
Well done, you had me on the edge of my seat!!

I've known some guys who would have just stuck it back on with a blob of JB Weld and found a buyer for the old Dodge. Glad you ain't one of 'em.
