Please tell me that at minimum you welded washers or a plate with a hole to the top and bottom and you dont have a piece of pipe wallowing around a grade 2 bolt.


Anyway...
I doubt your body lift is causing your transmission trouble. Maybe post in the transmission forum. You probably have a zf 5speed.
