TH400 Broken mounting hole

[Taylor]

I have a th400 that has a broken ear on one of the side mounting holes just above the guide hole. Is this a deal breaker, or can I still use the case? Can I get away with using the other 5 mounting holes and mabye some fender washers on the hole w/ the broken ear?

I think you could. The worst that can happen is that it breaks more... I'd run it and just keep an eye on it.

If you have a stockish motor I think it would be fine.

if you have the broken section it can be tig welded back on just fine by a good welder.

I have had soo many trucks that came with only 4 bolts or 3 bolts on.
If you make sure the 5 bolts are tight, and the 6th put on with washers you will be just fine.
