    Try using shoulder bolts. They have a solid shaft and threads are on the end with just enough room to put on a locknut.

    Yep same here, hopefully we can get a pic of those sheared bolts, somethings not adding up here.

    Search the terms "body bound bolts" all of it is good reading, but there is a thread started by racerone3 that is titled as such and explains how and what a body bound bolt is as well as why you should use them.
    l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!

    I did use shorter bolts, they were grade 5, so that explains that problem. Now I have to figure out the bigger problem. I had a chance to take a quick look at it tonight and all the chains seem to be in place and no binding anywhere there. I tried turning the secondary or driven clutch by hand and I can't get it to budge in reverse or forward. In neutral I can move it but it seems way tighter than it should be, it takes allot of force to move it.
