Does anyone know where I can purchase the bolts that are used to bolt the clutch to the flywheel?
My vette was apart all winter long and when I was reassembling everything I misplaced the bolts for the clutch. So I figured I'm putting in a new clutch I might as well buy new Grade 8 bolts. It sounded like a good idea at the time.
Now my car is all back together and I have a bad vibration.
I was told by Centerforce that it is probably because the bolts I used didn't have a shoulder so the clutch probably shifted off
balance. ad
Well being a novice I didn't realize I needed bolt with shoulders. :duh
The local tranny guy came over to my house today and tested my car and said it was definatly the clutch.
I decided to let him pull the tranny this time. Once was enough for me. He was the one who rebuilt the tranny after I took it out and he seems very knowledgable and fair. He didn't seem to know where to get the correct bolt though. We don't know for sure if thats what it is but while the tranny is out for the second time he might as well change the bolts.
Any ways I've looked in Jegs, Summit, Zip ... and can't find clutch bolts for sale.
Any ideas
