the previous owner of my cb7 didnt tap the other two and it has hanging by one bolt, it broke the bracket and was hanging by a few centimeters of metal, pretty dangerous i think.


I didnt find that out until I dropped the tranny, anyways I fixed it and welded the bracket back up with a washer on top to reinforce it

Bumping an old thread with good info. Just used this method yesterday in an M2S4 trans

Is it possible to tap the hole without removing the tranny from the car?

When I installed mine (way back when); I was told it was an Accord transmission, so I didn't realize it didn't match the mount until I had bolted it to the engine and tried to raise it into position. I was able to tap the hole with the trans at that point. I think I used a long extension to drive the tap handle.
