for sure. If you skid was on the tranny/tcase mount, every time you hit a rock the drivetrain flexed up the amount that the poly let it move. Isolate that **** and get the skid away at least 1/2", stuff moves more than you think in the heat of the moment under throttle.I also finally quit breaking cases when I put a solid strap (just 1/4" x 1" ) from the front of my head down to the frame rail on the left side. It is not solid mounting, but it is limiting some of the engine torque that deflects that left front engine mount so badly under hard throttle. I also always make sure you support the side of the 205 by the front output and run a strut rod from one or both of the boxes on the front output up to the engine (like the rod from the side of a chevy to the bellhousing bolt). After 5 400 cases and a 350 case I did these 3 things and was able to beat it harder and not break.
