1990 Transmission sump bolt sheared
1990 Transmission sump bolt sheared, when changing filter and fluid. Any suggestions on how to remove it? Also where can I get a replacement bolt and what size is it?

Should be easily sourced. Correct GM is likely expensive. Visit a shop!

Just kidding. Go right to what works; get a MIG welder, clean it up good, weld a nut onto what's left of the bolt....remove.

There were millions of these trannys made over the years. Any tranny shop will have a bunch of these bolts lying around. Bring one of your good bolts to a tranny shop and they should give you a bolt or at most charge you a buck or two. If you're in the Bay Area, I've got a bunch of them.
