i can't seem to find my stupid bolts...

i can't seem to find my stupid bolts that attach the top shifter plate to my t-5 camaro trans. i put them in a very safe place. so safe i can't find them. i know they are special bolts. anyone know where i can purchase them? thanks

 

i should of said i can't find my ass with both hands. kind of a childhood memory thing. ha ha.

 

Buy me a plane-ticket and I'll help you look.
For the bolts, that is pal...!

 

If you do end up needing replacements, might I suggest you buy 'smarter' bolts.

 

are they threaded in to your stupid nuts?---just for a laugh--ask your wife

 

I think they are just 6mm....

 

ya know the entertainment value is worth the hamb alliance membership alone.

 

I hear ya, "stupid bolts" hide from you, they strip, they break....what's with them anyway?

 

True value or Ace. As in Ace is the place with the helpful Hardware Man.

Fiddle fart around and find a bolt that is the same thread. There is bound to be one as for instance the speedo drive?

Take it with you. And tell the helpful Hardware you are looking for some stupid bolts.

 

If you can't find your bolts OR your ass, is it possible your bolts are IN your ass? Just a thought.

 

Next time buy some bolts that have gone on to the next or higher grade. Then they wont be so stupid.

 

I'll tell you where your bolts are if you'll tell me where my &#*! keys are........

 

This is a very simple fix...dissassemble the trans, then put it back together. Then you can use the "extra" bolts that are left over. Ya never know... you could even end up with an extra clutch plate for next time.

 

you just put them someplace safe

 

Not anymore, Ace went politically correct on us and now its "Helpful Hardware Folks".

 

sometimes they are in my other hand. they'll show up.

 

ok how about one SERIOUS answer that will help me. i know they are supposed to be special bolts for some reason or another. no "special" jokes now.

 

have you looked next to your stupid nuts ......Just a thought................slow day no the board...................Looks like to many Hambers must ha J-O B's

 

How special are they? Maybe they got left on the short bus while going to school.

 

Just start back tracking,it'll engage what we call "Where did my dumbass put those" recall. Maybe you put them in a toolbox or glovebox

 

i could ask ( are you sure it's the bolts that are stupid ) but i won't, it just wouldn't be nice! HA! call me POP...or the old FART!

 

Not special. They are 6mm, in the more coarse of the two threads, I forget. The originals have a flange on them that acts as a washer. Some better hardware stores, like OSH in California, have 'em. If you can't find those just use a washer and call it a day.

 

Keep looking...As soon as you buy new special bolts the original ones will show up. At least that is how it works in my shop.

 

ok, thats just funny

i second the advice to hit ace, you can find any bolt type there. every time i go to lowes/home depot i cant find crap and wonder why i even went there in the first place.

 

20 Years ago my son played hockey,I could not keep electrical tape anywhere,he taped stick handle.So,I bought a block of tape and hid the rolls in various places,still cant find electrical tape but occasionally stumble accross a roll here and there.looking for the last (?) roll now.Its there somewhere. Gone, along with my ability to spell.

 

Your Bolt is usually hanging right next to your nuts !! >>>>.

 

Just go buy some new bolts so the lost ones will show up.

 

Now thats funny

 

You told yourself I will put these bolts where no one will find them and you were right
It is a form of self hypnosis...No shit.....Just put new ones in and next time bag and tag them...I am talking from experience

 

GM D-e-a-l-e-r sorry had to join the crowd, but they will have them......
