They WERE 14mm. They have already been rethreaded to 17mm and I did do it with the tranny in the car. Didn't even have to unhook anything other than the 2 bolts left holding the mount in. No big deal at all, plenty of room in the front. Did it in the garage in about 30 minutes once I got the rethreader. Anyway, thanks to those that helped.

you don't have transmission fluid... you have gear oil
and you check it by jacking up the car, pulling the plug out of the transmission, and looking in the hole... if the fluid comes up to the bottom of the hole you have enough... no dipstick

wrong answer

front mount on the transmission

two bolts go into the case
they got torn out
zero threads left in the bottom hole

this did happen shortly after I had a clutch put in though

well mine are 17mm now... I somehow managed to yank them both out of the case... had to rethread for new bolts... what the **** was I doing that caused that? million dollar question...

I have the TMW shifter and I don't have any problems with it. I had it installed in my car by myself about two hours after I got it. The throw and height are both a lot shorter and I don't ever grind gears unless my leg gets lazy and I don't push the clutch in enough. And sometimes reverse can be tricky but it was like that before I got the shifter.

I was just wondering if anybody in here knew off hand what size bolt was supposed to go in the motor mounts on the 5SFE. Specifically the front mount where it goes into the block. Somehow I managed to lose one while driving and I need to get something put back in there quick.
