Urgent Need Help

[Domesticated]

I'm sorry I wasn't able to get a picture. There is a bolt hole on the bottom of the manual transmission. Specifically an H2A5. It is on the passenger side of the tranny of the front side. It is the only hole facing downward towards the ground with a slight angle towards the front of the car. About 6 inches from the passenger side of the tranny. It looks to hold an M10 bolt, but it's unthreaded. It goes directly into the transmission and I can see the inside. On the inside there is something loose. I was able to wiggle it with a screw driver. It is also threaded, but all the M10 bolts I had wouldn't thread. SO it is either reversed thread or an abnormal size. I have to have the car out of the shop I'm using tomorrow morning and it's the only thing left. The bolt holds something in place inside and I don't want to move the car until it's tightened down. IDK what it was, it must not have been in the trans when I pulled it from the yard. I will try to find a picture on the net.

What can i do help you? I have a H2A5 in my car, I can go look for you.

[Domesticated]

Take a picture of the bottom of the trans on the passenger side.

M10...

It's that bolt right there. If you pull it you'll notice it's weird. Or it should be. Any chance I could get you to pull it? It's over the fill hole so no fluid should come out. I cant get anything to thread into whatever it's holding in place.

OK thanks man. I'll try a standard bolt again. I just couldn't get it to thread with my fingers and didn't want to force it.

[dj_ender]

Try cleaning the threads inside the tranny, I had no issues finger threading it.

And this is why this forum is awesome. Some newb needs help so an admin jacks his car up and wrenches on it at 2-3am.

Anytime man. Glad I could help.

Yeah, that's damn awesome.

Is that the reverse gear bracket bolt, or such? It's been over a year since I tore apart my transmission, and I don't believe I have any pictures of that portion, just of the internal shafts.

If I recall correctly (which I do) there were two bolts like this that had springs and detent balls at the end, and the bolt held the spring and balls in place. If this is that, you're going to want to make sure you have the spring and ball in there still.

An article I remember using as reference when tearing mine apart:

Nothing fell out when I removed the bolt, I was very careful.

Just for my curiosity, what is the purpose of this bolt?
