Hello!

I was about to service the transmission a few days back with the usual drain and fill procedure that everyone does. I have done it before so I am familiar with how it works, only this time i wanted to change the transmission filter aswell.
I removed the old filter, which had four bolts attached to it, and replaced it with the new filter, which should be torqued down to 7 ft-lbs. The problem is that I accidentally used the wrong torque wrench and snapped one of the bolts holding the filter to the transmission, only one

My question then is, will the filter be fine with only 3 out of 4 bolts?

Kind regards Rasmus

Go get a replacement bolt. Take the a bolt and show it to the store, cheap item. Next time read instructions carefully on how to use a torque wrench. Good luck.

 

It could be okay, but it could also vibrate and potentially crack leading to it sucking air and killing your trans.

Bolts - watch them, when they stop turning, something has to give. At least it didn't strip. Id find a new bolt.
