hey guys. first of all, sorry if this has been posted before but i cant seem to find anything with search. anyway, im in the middle-end of swapping out my clutch. i have the tranny bolted back up onto the engine, but i cant remember what bolts go to like the front stopper bracket or the rear engine to transmission mount. anybody got a scan of service manual or something that markes where exactly each bolt goes and how long they are? thanks.

 

in the tranny

 

I have done many clutch swaps, what is a stopper bracket?

If you look at mount near the passenger side, right in front of that towards the headlights there is another larger black metal piece connected to the side of the transmission, that's the front stopper bracket.

This entire thread has made me question where the heck people think of usernames nowadays.

 

Honestly, the transmission bolts are all the same size, with exception to one I think. As for the bolts that go into the mount, normally you will find they have somewhat of a darker red tint on the head of the bolt. Just place a bolt in before hand to see if it is too small or not. I can't give you a diagram, but I can tell you the sizes. Also, if you hang the bolt over the mounts you will realize which go where. I didn't label my bolts either, I winged it and each is exactly where it needs to be.

 

do you mean the torque mount?

 

If by torque mount you don't mean front stopper bracket, no.

 

i just did my clutch on sunday. the rear bracket uses 19mm bolts, the tranny bolts are all 17mm and the same size. the stopper bracket/torque mount i think uses 17mm also, but i think mine all had washers on them. anyway i think they are a lil bigger than the tranny bolts

oh yea the one that goes in from the tranny side on the rear bracket on top is the longest. the other 2 from the other side are shorter. and acually, i think these all have washers on them too...so the other ones minght not. but anyway my car is a 96 dx and the rear bracket bolts are 19mm

 

I usually just try different bolts, it always works out.

 

thanks for the help guys. yeah, they ended up only going in one way really. i think everything went pretty well, only a few extra parts and i think they are just from the dirt shield underneath the car
