Re: torque bar

replied in other thread. it bolts THROUGH the trans tail housing. get new bolts with nuts. grade 8 but u might get away with grade5. i kno bc i removed mine recently when i rebuilt my trans. the actual mount is not threaded into the trans... just straight through holes.

Re: torque bar

I also replied on the other thread and pointed out that it does not bolt through the tail housing on the T-5 trans.
