anybody know how many bolts hold the bellhousing 2 the block?

 

6. Two on the bottom, two behind the rear mount, one over the starter, and one on the top, kinda under the oil cooler but more rearward.

 

ya...what he said...the top one is a PAIN to get to and has a plastic wire holder thing on it you have to get off...my suggestion for that is to cut it off and leave it off

 

Agreed. Get a pair of side cutters on it from the back, and cut the plastic holder. Its the biggest PITA of the whole job.

 

that thing SUCCKEDE!!!! its a pain to get that one out too...i wanted to kill my buddies car that we were working on with that!!!!!!!

 

I can only find one near the starter anyone have a good way for me to find the other one with out me taking off my bumper a picture would be nice. Thanks

 

actualy there is 8, 2 of them go through the oil pan into the bellhousing.

 

There is only one near the starter. The others are on the top, bottom, and rear of the bellhousing.

You sure about that? Those are the bottom two i'm counting out of my 6.

 

There is seven, but the guy at the dealer said chevy omited the one on the top right. so there should be six on your car.

 

the one on top is a pain in the ass, alldata said there was another on the top right that i looked for forever to realise it wasnt there

 

Yeah, first car I did a trans on, I thought maybe someone had left it out. Next two were the same though, so I figured they just left that rear upper hole empty from the factory. Don't know why, but they do.

 

maybe cause they realised it would **** you off even more trying to get to it then it did taking all that time looking for a non existant bolt

 

Anyone know the part number for these bolts?

Bumping again. I'd just stop by a dealer, but they are only open while I'm at work.
Anyone know?

 

Call CED? I have a couple here i'm sure but by the time you paid shipping and waited i'm sure it's cheaper/faster to just buy them local to you.

 

Been trying to call the local dealer here. They can't understand what bolt it is. I tell them stright out it hold the bell housing to the engine. I'm missing the one that goes through the oil pan to the bell housing. They ordered me the one that holds the bell hosing itself together...
Tried again and they kept saying then think it's one of these 4 bolts, after I'm telling them there's 6... then they said they'd email me the diagram and then never actually did...

You wouldn't think it'd be this difficult...

Also everything in Canada seems to cost more so I doubt it be more expensive, as they even had to order that one, wrong, bolt in, and that cost 10 bucks just for one small bolt.

The right bolt is even bigger so what's that gonna cost me 20?

Guess maybe I'll try CED tomorrow. Just so frustrated. Been soo many issue with my car. I'm in debt to it yet again and it still not even working right...

 

I'm removing my tranny and I see 6 18mm bolts and one smaller one close to themistat housing, 2 on bottom, 2 on back, one behind starter and one on top plus that smaller one, looks 14 or 13mm what is that one it does go through the bell housing and into the block it seems,.

 

yup its 13 mm the one above the tstat housing. so there is 7

 

That smaller one doesn't hold the tranny on the engine. I think it's just a ground connection or something. There are 6.

 

Didn't look like it to me, it was just as big and long as the rest, and it does go into the block, I triple checked. Unless it misses the block , but it had no ground or anything on it, if it doesn't hold the trans then it serves no purpose

 

All the bell housing bolts are big 18mm bolts, there are 5-6, most cars that haven't had the trans out have one missing by the T-stat area, but there's a hole there for a bolt. Same size as the others though.

 

mine had that bolt it is the same size, but it uses a 13mm wrench. unless the shop who put my clutch in used a 13mm instead of 18.. the head is 13mm the bolt itself is the same size and thread as the rest of the 18 mm bolts
