Changed Tranny oil....Found bolt

[StreetHog]

So my K9 is new to me and with 2900 miles and an '07 I figure what the hell, I'm dropping all fluids so I know what I have. I get to the tranny after the engine oil. Put the allen wrench in the plug and here lies this bolt wedged in between the frame and oil lines. I appears there are 6 flanged head bolts that mount the tranny to the frame. I'm missing 4 of them!!!! The bolt I found has NO evidence of Loctite. Just an FYI...CHECK YOUR EVERY BOLT!!!

Go for a ride, dig out the torque wrench

I have seen that a few times.

Yep, not uncommon...

 

[woodbutcher]

there was a time when the assemblers thought Loctite was too much trouble to use.

Had to replace my starter due to that....

make sure you get the shims put back in place.... there is usually 2 of them on the 2 outer flange bolts on the pulley side

Thanks for the heads up!!!

Anyone know the how thick these shims are? They don't show up on BDM parts....
