Bell housing bolts/threads broke
One night after going to the track, I noticed squeaking/chirping noises from the clutch area...I thought maybe the pressure plate bolts came loose...nope, I took off the inspection plate and was missing some torque tube to bell housing bolts!
The only way I can explain this is maybe at the track while hard launching (had wheel hop on one pass)...anyways is there an upgraded bell housing or where can I get a stock one?? And how can I prevent this?
Thanks

Just get a new or used C5 OEM bell housing.. I had micro cracks and a big hairline crack in my 02 Z bell housing that I saw during my SPEC Clutch up-grade.
Purchased a new one from Gene Culley (CULTRAG PERFORMANCE) "forum sponsor"
Vettenuts (forum sponsor) has quality used C5 & C6 Parts.
New or used,, either way is a good deal..
