I had to have transmission pulled to replace bad gears. Now the bolts won't stay tight put in new bolts and loctite on 2nd and 3rd attempt.Does anyone have any suggestions?

Red Loctite or blue? Did you make absolutely certain that each bolt was marked and replaced into the hole it came out of? All it takes is a couple of threads difference...

Heck... that makes it even easier to take care of - it should all be on them! They should be accountable for their own work!
