The lower engine stiffener has a 10x45mm bolt that secures the small stiffener into the transmission housing. If you take this out, you will see that only half the threads are used, but the housing has enough for a much longer bolt.
For mine, the person who "worked" on the transmission previously stripped the aluminum component (outer part) of the transmission housing bolt-hole, leaving the bolt just hanging around there not even finger tight, and probably rattling away for that last 2 years... but if you look carefully inside the bolt-hole of the tranny housing, there are additional threads that are ready to be accessed because of a brass insert.
I therefore think I need a 10x55mm or 10x65mm bolt which will work to re-secure the small stiffener.
Anyone know a part number of a bolt that is 10x55mm or 10x65mm used elsewhere in the car, Flange type?
thanks!
