Default anyone else have issues with trans bushing bolts?

i have a 00 ws6 with the six speed, the bolts in the tranny bushing keeps falling out, pretty new with these cars but it amazing how much that one bolt will make as far as power to the ground

Not sure what you are describing. You could try some red Loc tite.

The trans mount. Im betting either its the wrong bolt or someone stripped the threads out and ruined them somehow.

very possible man, the kid that had this car before me didn't know anything about cars, and the car scared him, he did take it to a speed shop here (not one that i would take it to) but spent a lot of money on this car

my next project with this car is putting in a new clutch kit and slave cylinder the one i have now looses pressure and I've had to bleed it twice in the last 3 months

Sounds like you might have to heli coil the threads in the housing.
