I am in the process of removing the manual transmission out of a 99 Saleen Mustang and have 1 bolt that is rounded off. It is the driver side top bolt. I have tried a stripped bolt removal tool by Irwin, tried smaller sockets, tried a standard socket as well. The is not enough room for putting a wrench in the bolt from the top side either. I am out of ideas and need to get this done soon. I have been working on the car since last week tryin g to get that 1 bolt out. I live in NC and if someone is willing to come to the location to remove the bolt I will pay for it. I have to replace the clutch and the owner would like to have it ready for Mustang week in Myrtle Beach. Thanks for any help and info.

 

do you have a welder? weld a nut to it and then take it off.

 

Another option is to try to change the clutch without removing the stripped bolt.

Assuming it's a transmission to bellhousing bolt. Just remove all the bellhousing bolts and try to slide the trans/bellhousing back as one unit.

If you have a bellhousing to engine stripped bolt. You might try breaking the bellhousing. I mean prybar, airchisel, BFH. Then buy another bellhousing.
