Does anyone know the size of the bolts that hold the transmission fluid pan? There appears to be six of them. Are these specific bolts that I need to order or can I just pick them up from my local hardware store? I’m going to be attempting a transmission oil change and my boards look like they are in rough shape therefore I might as well replace them Thanks

 

I believe they are M6 hex, so a good hardware store should have them (my ACE has a good variety of metric bolts). Unfortunately I don't know the length. AB sells a kit of bolts including clamps. I could reuse my existing bolts, since they came off easily and were not corroded. I guess the treatment with penetrating oil once a day every day for a week helped.

 

Might be a good plan to get new pan clamps, the little blocks that the bolts go thru. They split very easily and will fall apart once the bolt is out.

 

I'm sure you've seen it but just incase, tells you everything you need to know. I'll third that, definitely wouldn't hurt to get the new clamps and bolts from them. If your bolts look rough I'd bet the clamps would be too once you get them off. Unfortunately I don't know the length either but if you call up AB they might measure one out for you if you decide on just new bolts, nice guys up there.

 

I will order these bolts and clamps but wow they are six dollars each?!?

 

the clamps are yes, if the bolts are that expensive then I would just bring one of the ones you pull out to home depot and get some that match

 

Dealership has them in a 10 pack. They have like a washer on them
