Need some advice & pics The bolt hole for the torque arm mount in the tranny got stripped somehow, and my torque arm came out. I can not get the bolt back in to hold now because it's stripped. So I am looking to get a body mounted torque arm to fix this and get better performance.
Question is, I have a lowered car with Eibach pro kit and need some advice on which one is best to use for clearance, as well as some pics if possible with torque arms and lowered cars. I'm looking to get this here soon, so the more help I get the better. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Here are a couple pics of how it sits:

Isn't there just one of the three bolts that actually screws into the tranny? The other 2 slide through the clam shell thing and have nuts on the end. Couldn't you just retap the threads for the one bolt that gets screwed in, if that is in fact the bolt hole that got stripped?
I guess you'd have to pull the tranny to retap the threads of that one bolt hole, but I'm gonna guess that you're gonna have problems with a non tranny mounted T/A. Your car sits quite low. Looks sweet tho! If you do pull the tranny, it'd be a good excuse to upgrade the internals

What about the BMR Trac Pac (I think that's what it was)?
