Trans mount bolt thread?

[Brunoboy]

I need to know what the thread is for the trans mount to trans.

 

[TylerAdamson]

m10x1.25 or m12x1.25

 

m12 1.25 for sure.

 

[Brunoboy]

Lowes doesn't have it, anywhere have it???

Hard to find these, as most here use ISO instead of JIS, so they will be 12 x 1.5 or 1.75.

Have an Orchard Supply nearby?

 

[Brunoboy]

I do have an Orchard supply, ISO JIS? The reason being is after i switched the trans my old bolts didnt fit in the new trans, and I have no idea why. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Sounds like the threaded holes on your new(er) tranny are stripped. Pretty much every Mitsu that I have seen from that era has the same size bolts holing the tranny mount on. There should be enough material there to drill/tap if thats the case. Or maybe a slightly longer bolt. I think the ones that hold the cam gears to the cams are a little longer.

 

[Brunoboy]

The bolts I have from the older tranny are bigger than the holes in the new tranny.

 

[89Mirageman]

Hmm, that's weird. Is it a 2g dsm tranny? If the bolts are smaller I would guess 10mm 1.25 thread pitch.

 

[Brunoboy]

The wad of the bolt is a 17mm, I don't think it's an oem bolt in the first place, and not sure about it being a 2g tranny. The new one is from uncleben on here and it's a tre stage 2.

Can you post some pics of both trannies? Also the bolt that fits the old tranny?

 

[Brunoboy]

I bought two 12x1.25 30mm from lowes and added two washers a piece and it works. thanks guys. The other bolts I believe at 12x1.50/.75 retapped...

 

[89Mirageman]

Glad you got it sorted, I know something didn't sound right.

 

[Brunoboy]

My front trans bolt doesn't thread now -____-

 

[Brunoboy]

Got one that was listed on vfaq for thread pattern didn't work, went to the junkyard and it was correct.
