Bolt Specs -- Torque Arm



I need the bolt specs for the top bolt on the brace that holds the torque arm to the transmission. The bottom two bolts go through the transmission and the top one screws directly into the transmission (It's the red dot).

I believe the hole in the transmission is stripped. I'd first like to run a tap through it to see if that will work, which it probably wont, but who knows.

Thanks.

Greg

You put this in the BODY forum?? How about suspension, or heck, even transmission??
Just use the two bolts then. I'm guessing the T5 housing is aluminum, so a tap will not work too well. I'm guessing it's an M8 coarse bolt right?

Looks like 31 ft lbs for all three (M10x1.5x80).
