    HELP! Trans. bolt needed

    I lost one of the shorter torx bolts for mounting my transmission (the ones just below the head) can anybody help me?

    Unless somebody is local to you it would be fastest to get one from the dealer.

    You can find the part numbers on RealOEM.

      I called them...

      They want $7 each, and I have to pay for all that come in the package( min 10=$70)

        Try McMaster. I got my diff bolt there. I've got 5-6 extra if you end up needing one of those.

        You could always try blunt. He's reasonable on hardware and can sell you a single bolt.

          Which size bolt is it? E12, E14? I have some extras I can send you, pay for shipping and they are yours.

                          A week later and you're still looking? You could have bought them NEW from Blunttech, BMA Parts, Guten Parts, or any other of the long list of vendors and already had them to your door.

                              I offered to send OP a free bolt but didn't hear from him for 3 or so days. I have since put a lot of my stuff back in storage and I'm sorry but I'm not going there just to get a bolt. GL OP
