    DOH ! Where does this bolt go ?

    Stupid Question !!!
    Does this bolt look familiar ?
    Just did my second and a half trans swap on my second Honda. A 94 Wagon SOHC VTEC with an auto tranny.
    I buy them with blown tranny's and swap a JDM tranny and voila, like new car for a fraction of the price.
    So I get the tranny in and bolted up only to find that the flexplate is different than the one that came with the car. DOH !!! First mistake. Didn't have to change flexplates on my first swap. Oh well. Whatdya gonna do?
    Yeah take the tranny back out.
    Anyways got everything hooked up and running fine with one exception an extra bolt !!! Damn I looked everywhere but can't figure out where it goes.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Jeff

                If the bolt is black its an internal engine bolt for the head. If its the off gold color then tranny bolt. But is it 14 or 17mm?

                  WOW quick reply's Thanks !

                  Long black bolt 14mm. I keep looking around the rear motor mount and bracket. I think it was one of the last bolts I took out and the rear mount and bracket were one of the last things I removed...

                    I woulda said head bolt if you said you took apart your motor. Prob one of the rear mount bolts as previously mentioned.

                      I think someone had the car apart before and used an old head bolt for the rear mount bracket... same thread pitch, just a different head size...

                        Yeah but ...

                        I didn't start out with any extra bolts. Anyone have an exploded view ?
                        I'm going to take one more shot at it tomorrow and if I can't find where it goes then I'll hold on to the bolt and wait for something to fall off

                        Thanks again

                          definitely looks like a headbolt.

                              Funny thing is...

                              The majority of the bolts were gold, short and took a 17 mm socket. That's why this black, long 14 mm bolts got me stumped. It came off the car ?!
                              I'm not going to worry about it too much.
                              I still have a whinnig noise from the engine that starts out loud and quiets down once the car warms up. Belt possibly ? And 2 more motor mounts I'd like to replace with the NEW ones I purchased off ebay. $149.99 for all 4 and quality pieces. So I'll still have time to figure it out. If I do, I'll post were it went.
                              Also plan on taking some pics of my second POS w/possibilites !!!
                              Will post them tomorrow.

                              Thanks everyone for all your help
