Sorry to hear about the failure. I've seen several LS starter mount failers on the net. Yours seems different. I wonder truly what was the root cause though. Hopefully it was the spiral lock as you seem to think.

Best of luck.
The trailer wasn't too bad considering how much a new one is plus upgrades.

Up until the moment it happened, everything was working great. There was about 3000 miles on the combo. One thing that may have helped contribute was I had a rubber trans mount and urethane engine mounts. Again, just guessing, but maybe when the clip came out under load, the trans was able to move enough that the starter mount was the weakest thing so it gave.

Thanks!
