Hey gents,
anyone know if flywheel bolts would be shorter that flexplate bolts ?

Reason I ask is im getting ready to do an AOD to t5 swap and I found some flywheel bolts in my garage (probably from an old project) im pretty sure they were never used but they are shorter than the bolts from the AOD flexplate. I seem to remember that once when I did the swap in a SN95 I had to use flywheel bolts that were shorter than the ones from the automatic that was in that car.

Actually, since the Standard trans flywheel is thicker than the Auto trans flex plate, the flywheel bolts should be longer.
