Oddities (no, not me)

Two questions:
  1. How long are the torque converter bolts? What happens if they'll too long?
  2. Ok, three questions. Why did both of my torque converter bolts shear off at the end.

    Yep, I broke the head off of one of my torque converter bolts, as per So Cal, and those are the hardest #$^#$@*&^% bolts on earth. I'm gonna have to get a tap and retap my T.C. Odd thing is, both of my other bolts were sheared off at the ends. Britwrench? Carter? answeres, please.

Cant speak for the length, but they are M8 bolts and they are supposed to be torqued to 40Nm.

Are you taling about the 3 bolts that go through the TC and into the mounting plate, or the ones that fasten the mounting plate to the tranny housing? (those are M8 X 25)

have part numbers for both if you need them

The first ones. Remember that the first ones fell out and the vanes on the T.C. carried a bolt to the top where there isn't room for a bolt and a vane to co-exist, and yet they did so in not so near perfect harmony, and I coasted into my driveway? So I got some longer ones, and when I took them out today, they were sheared at the ends. Perplexing...

People with bladder control problems who own old sportscars with exploding coil wires on the next Jerry Springer...

Chances are, the bolts you installed were too long.
