Hi,

Im under the van this morning, checking out why my
syncro clanks like a mother in reverse (and pops out)
when I noticed problems with the two bottom bolts that
come from the engine to the tranny.  The driver side
bolt is just missing a nut, no problem, but the
passenger side is actually snapped off right where it
exits the sleeve.

I see the other end of the bolt seems to be inside the
engine (right by the front most push rod).

Will I have to drop the tranny and/or engine to fix
this?  It looks as if the tranny is at least one
centimeter apart from the engine at the
bottom...obviously farther apart then the top of the
tranny.  Hoping a fix of these bolts will help solve
the clanking reverse.

Thanks,

jeff
