Step up to a bigger size stainless screw and cover it with anti-seize before you thread it in.

I’ve often wondered about how much communication there is between the engine and transmission.....it’s not something that comes up very often but I guess it must happen.......how else would a trans know when to shift at different rpm’s depending on load and driver demand? The trans must use...

Has anyone tried fitting the 6G74 with a turbo? The 3000GT had twin turbos.....seems like a source for turbos and ECU’s might already exist. Looks like the 3000GT had a 3 liter 6G72.....not sure how similar the hardware would be... Found the donor...

Do you have the FSM? It explains the system in detail.

On this topic, I’m in the rust belt with a 98 and all I’ve ever needed to do was weld on some new hangers a few times and a new inlet pipe to the muffler. My whole system is still alive and well.

This plus a legit impact wrench did the trick. I hate borrowing sh. Sorry everyone this isn't a Montero but learning is learning. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. BTW picture doesn't do it justice......that is a big **** clamp.
