Hey folks,

been through this 1000+ times before and searched again too...I know that two of the AOD trans to bellhousing bolts are too short. Trying to line things up beforehand...anyone know what thread/length bolts are needed for the swap?

Searched again, sorry to beat a dead horse.

You could just use washers to take up the extra space.


I don't have any handy myself however to tell you size and thread stype sorry

All of my AOD bolts were fine except the top two,which were too long for the T-5 bell housing (needed shorter bolts for the T-5).I got new 7/16 thread bolts at the hardware store.I bout 4 of everything almost ($1.49 a pound).
