I either snapped this bolt, stripped its threads, or stripped the threads to
where the bolt goes in to place. Anybody have the size of the bolt, i would like to go to the store and pick some up and rethread if i have to.
It is the 2 small bolts...

I have heard some people say it doesnt hold weight, but when i had to lower my subframe to do my CA, and reinstalled the bolts, it sure as hell felt like the gearbox got a bit more sloppy. Nothing drastic, but something noticable.

it was the hole. I guess someone had to take them out before me
and stripped them out. When I took the bolts out it looked like the remains of a helicoil on the bolt threads. I had a local shop dril them out and rethread them for me. Cost me $50 :/ if I knew that I would have bought a tap and dye(die?) set
