gearbox problems

[downey]

I have just bought a 97 saxo vtr and ive been having problems with the gearbox, it first happened 2 days ago when all the bolts sheared and dropped the gearbox, i had all the holes tapped a mm wider so to be able to drive but two of the bolts have stripped threads, im just wondering whats the best fix for the moment untill i get a new gearbox fitted??

Dont drive it until its fixed man, sounds dangerous

[raunchz]

Sound like something isn't lining up causing the bolts to repeatedly shear

ive kinda got it sorted to be honest, i bought these rods off ebay called hts 2000 or durafix and your supposed to drill the holes out and heat this stuff up when a bolts in the original hole on the gearbox and the threads are welded into the gearbox then like new, only cost me 30 quid saved me spending loads on a new box.
