Ok so i'm getting my trans rebuilt to z spec and putting my KC clutch in finally.

While tightening the pressure plate bolts, one broke off into the flywheel . I've ran cars before that were missing one bolt and i never had any problems. I even did a clutch for a friend and his was missing one bolt and he hasn't had any problems, albeit he drives like a grandma.

So should i worry about it or not?

I would worry about it as well... get the broken bolt out, even if you have to take the flywheel to the machine shop.

Ok i knew yall would say that. i got an easy out so i'll see if i can get it out.

Would a grade 8 bolt from the hardware store be ok to replace it with?
