my jimmy has a high torque starter and it broke the mount on the transmission i was wondering if there is anything i can do besides replacing the whole tranny:confused:

Welcome to AF
Always give.
What year /transmission/engine/mieage and how good is the transmission?

1982/not sure/6.2 liter v-8 diesel/129,000 and the transmission is in awsome shape.

The starter should mount to the engine block.
Is the starter still working?
What is broke on yours?
Starter mounting bolt?
Or transmission mounting bolt?
Or the splash cover cracked/broke?

transmission mount,it's not bolted to the block it is definatly bolted to the tranny and it's a brand new starter

If it is a standard transmission you may be able to replace the bell housing depending on what TRANSMISSION YOU HAVE.

Is the mounting broke out or just the bolt threads stripped?

the mount is broke and i bought brand new bolts for the starter

How did it get broke?
What is broke on it?
If mounting is broke you will need to replace it.
Standard or auto transmission?

1.when i bought it there was a piece of wood behind it keeping it in place so it would engage the flexplate and one day i went to start it and it made the most horrible sound and i looked and the piece of wood had fallen out hence the loud sound i'm guessing the starter had grinded against the plate but didn't engage if u get what i'm sayin.
2.there is a little circle where the bolt should go through but half of the cirlce is gone
3.Auto, the transmission is a turbo 400

There is no starter mounting on a 400 transmission.

The starter bolts straight up from the bottom to the engine block.
Check the mounting bolts for being broke off or striped out or gone.
Must have been a old carpenter's truck.
They use wood blocks to fix everything.
Good Luck
