(Transmission is for a 1990 6 Bolt)

I'm getting my tranny swapped in, finally, and came to find that I was missing a bolt on the transmission, its a long skinny one that is on the back under the starter. Can ANYONE help me find one or sell me one if they have one from a part out?
Also.. if anyone knows the dimensions, could you please post them?


Thanks,


Shawn
 
are you sure.. sure??? haha i just don't want to spend the time sourcing it and buying it form a dealership to find out it isn't right? Not that i don't believe you, i just want to make complete sure!

thanks for the help though!

Blizz99... love that link.. thank you!!
 
Yes i looked over your post when i replied, but went back and noticed the link you gave me, so i added my comment!
But the only thing is i need my car asap, i have someone helping me, and he has all the tools and things i need, we had it scheduled to be done today! :/

I would like to buy the parts new, just not sure how much time i have to wait!

Edit:

I'm assuming I got sited for this due to the".." i put so i changed them to ",".
Or maybe the lower cased "y" on yes, so i up sized it!! ;)

Just put the bolt in when you get it and let him finish everything else up
 
Yes but it wouldn't be safe to drive, and he mentioned something about it being the bold that helps align the transmission! Apparently i was have been missing that bolt for some time, and, in his word, it caused my transmission to be misaligned about 1/8-1/4 of an inch off.. i have some scrapes in my bell housing where it seem as if the flywheel rubbed it a few times!

Edit:

Ok so i sourced one at a local Mitsubishi dealership... $2.65+tax and the have ONE in stock, better yet, they are a few blocks from where i work! :D

I didn't mean for you to drive it, it's the most important bolt that holds your tranny LOL
