Don't use cheap low grade bolts on your Guibo (drive shaft flex disc) - NapaBavarian - 03-21-2013

I've been enjoying the hell out of my 87 190dt 5 speed for the last 6 weeks, but yesterday it went "tink" one time and today it quit going into reverse, the rest of the gears became difficult to engage, I jacked it up and found out one bolt head broke off and migrated forward just enough to shatter the rear housing and use the fluid in the transmission to lubricate the chassis, not what I needed today. Bloody bolts were 10mm too long as well.

Can the transmission case be welded
