If you over torque that 10mm it will surely snap the mount on the VSS.

Thats for sure! happened to me last year. JB welded it only worked for so liong til the JB weld cracked off and i just got a new one about 2 months ago. So that 10MM long bolt hand tighten it down til u cant turn it with your fingers anymore then a quarter turn the a 10mm socket and ur good. MAKE SURE THE BASE IS FLAT TO THE TRANS HOUSING!!!!!!!!

Follow your lower radiator hose back towards the rear of the engine. look behind where the hose ends close to the firewall on the transmission and you can miss it..
