For vehicles with turbo chargers, the specified torque of the bolt that secures the transmission mount and bracket is not appropriate, and therefore, the bolt may loosen when sudden starts and/or sudden accelerations are repeated. If this problem is left unattended, the bolt may come off or break. If this occurs, the engine or the transmission may tilt, and in the worst case, the drive shaft could come off, which would cause the vehicle to stall.

Component:
drive shaft
Affected:

Correction:
The bolt should be replaced with the factory approved replacement unit and be fastened with the appropriate torque. If the bolt was not fastened with the particular torque, the transmission mount and bracket should be replaced with new ones, and the bolt should be fastened with the appropriate torque. In addition, if the rubber is protruding from the mount connection section, that extra rubber should be cut off.
