size bolts

what size bolts do you use for attaching the transmission to the engine i seem to be missing a few :)

Take one of the ones you do have, to the hardware store and match it up.
I don't remember what size they are off the top of my head... Probably a 3/8 x ?

That's a good idea but make sure you use at least a grade 5 bolt or a grade 8.

Yup.... Excellent advice. I would have mentioned that, but for some reason, I expect people to think like I do... As in, if you need to replace bolts, always use stronger ones than the factory used, or what you think you'll need :D

Of course, I always replace valve cover/oil pan/auto tranny pan bolts with allen-heads, just because I know I'll never overtighen em' and warp whatever they happen to be on...

I also slather up bolts with Never-seize also....

Call it a 'sickness' .. :D :D :D

Anti-seize is good on toast.....:)

I'd use it for shaving cream if I shaved.....

I could think of other good uses, but this is a 'family' website, so I'll shut up :D :D :D

The top 4 are 9/16's, the lower ones and the starter bolts are 5/8's.

9/16 and 5/8 are the sizes of the head of the bolts. The shank for the upper bellhousing bolts should be 3/8 x 2", but check that first...defenitely a coarse thread.
