Hi All, I need the two lower studs that secure the transmission's clutch bell housing to the engine. I can't find the part number in ETKA. The story follows for those that have not read it. Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Despite the warning I should have recieved from the noise and vibration, I was foolishly trying to limp to the next town having lost my exhaust. Then I saw a puff of smoke out the rear window. I immediately pulled over and shut the engine down just as the oil pressure buzzer came on. There was old all over the rear hatch and underneith the two bottom bolts that hold the engine to the transmission have sheered off. The engine moved backwards and pierced the oil filter. I did shut the engine down quickly but the clutch bell housing and exhaust both need replacing before I even know if my engine is good. Thanks, Chris |
