Yesterday when I was driving my car started making weird sounds while driving and when I got home I looked under my car and the outer bracket that holds the torque arm to the transmission in place is missing where can I buy a bracket or what can I do until I find one the car is a 1982 camaro 5.0 with a thm200c transmission I need help fast please I dont know what to do!!!

 

That's gonna be a tough one.

Dealer only for a new one. I seriously doubt it's still available though. Might be able to get a used one off this site's classifieds.

I'm guessing you just bought this car? Seems like you've been having ALOT of trouble with it? Kinda looks like it was owned by some kind of a numbskull and they left it kinda half-a$$ed. Might wanna quit driving it and go over EVERY nut and bolt to make sure it's tight, look at EVERY detail you can think of looking especially for places where that big nut that belongs between the left front seat and the steering wheel, mighta backed off and got out and tinkered with it; change all the fluids, tune it up, do a brake job, etc.; clean the car up, inside and out, esp the engine compartment and the underside with LOTS of engine degreaser and the quarter car wash; and so forth. Otherwise you're gonna continue to get unpleasant surprises and gifts that keep on giving.

 

Sounds like you'll have to get lucky and find one off an existing car. Or, another option is to just fab your own. Even if you only have an angle grinder, welder and drill. Should cost under $20

 

Is there anything I can do for now to drive the car can I put zip ties or something I don't have time to fab anything or the proper tools and I cant find no camaro's in any junk yard near me and I cant find any online

 

I may have one. I part out third gens and I got a couple out here, I have not pulled parts off of yet. Let me check tomorrow for you.

 

Seeing if a member here has the part, I guess. Or for temporary use, I spose one could be made out of spacers, bolts and straight pieces of metal.
Find two bolts that fit the lower screw mounts, and get some sheet steel from home depot or whatnot. 18 gauge or thicker. Cut it to the right width, stick it in the hole at the top mount, then drill holes in the bottom and screw the bottom into the bottom of the mount, in the existing bolt holes.
Crude..but should work in a pinch.
Zip ties would break pretty quick.

 

18 ga sheet metal isn't going to get it.

The original was about 10 ga, basically as thick as that slot is, and had a rubber isolator pad thing that matched the other half, riveted to it.

If you fab something, get an Energy Suspension poly isolator; and install both halves of that. The holes in the TA don't really "do" anything, that is, nothing is supposed to "fit" in or to or through them, so don't worry about those.

Being a 82 makes it tougher: a one-yr-only part. Frankly I'm not even positive the ES piece will fit it but it would be worth a try if it comes to that. Just leaving the TA bashing up against a piece of metal would be incredibly obnoxious; really only good for getting the car to be able to move on its own to somewhere you could do something more permanent to it.

 

Yep being '82 makes it a pain... I don't have any for an '82. I got one from an '89 but it's not going to work for you on that 1982

 

18 gauge wouldn't hold temporarily? Obviously not a permanent fix, I was thinking more for a "I need to get down the road right now" type patch. Although without a rubber pieces there, that would be ungodly annoying. Unless you have straight pipes that down out all other noises

 

If you need to do a temporary fix to move it around the driveway or something I'd go for some thin steel, maybe an array of hose clamps? I wounldn't drive it cobbed together tho, it is kind of a crucial piece of the rear suspension...

Time to park the car for a while until parts can be located...
