This is a almost new TCI converter, What causes a stud to break, I torqued it correctly and it didnt hit anything. Now I have to buy a new converter

You should be able to get that repaired. It's not like they cast the studs into it. Call a tranny shop.

GER is in Oxford, Pa. Is that close? Any converter shop should be able to fix it. TCI might take care of you, but shipping would be up to you.

Any competent welder with a TIG machine can fix it.

I drilled the stud out just to see how far it went in, now theres a hole, so maybe it still can be fixed for a spare, my work is getting a tig welder so I will wait. What grade bolt should I use.
