I had a project accent that the previous owner sold to me for 200 dollars due to it "eating" automatic transmissions. I am curious why it was doing that.. so I looked around. I see wires for neon's running into the area where the ecm is. hmmm so I follow the wires. Well, they didn't tap anything to crazy to get power, but someone thought the brass looking thing must be soft and a good place to put a screw in to ground the system. One screw was touching metal on the board and another went through the board in the TCM. yeah....
cant find the pics. I have them somewhere.

Seen this happen before. On one hand that seems like a poor location, on the other hand why would you do that? Good rule: Don't drill through a black box that your not sure what it does.
