I have a 2007 Rubicon and have tricked the piss out of it. My mods are all working great together but I was out plowing some snow, which means usually added shifting but I broke the bolt that attaches the linkage to the hondamatic. The support/pivot bolt, not the shifter attachment bolt. It doesn't come lose or work its way out and it has been tightened to proper specs, yet, as of this coming tuesday, this will be the 3rd bolt I have put in. It just flat out snaps it after about a month of use. Anyone been down this road before?

I broke two of the those pivot bolts on my 02 Rubi,I actually broke part of the front cover the first time. Tried to half ass it with JB weld/washers on the first fix,that lasted about 25 min. I replaced the front engine cover the second time,good since but I am paranoid,always checking it. Intrestingly both times mine broke I too was plowing.
