T56 SWAP: need help with bolt sizes
I'm doing a manual swap. I got all my parts separate (trans, torque tube, shifter, etc).
No bolts came with it. And I can't seem to find the info on the internet anywhere. Throwing a Hail Mary that my corvettes brethren can help me out.
I need the size of these bolts:
Torque tube to trans
Shifter box to torque tube
Shifter to shift rob (pinch clank thing)
And Torque tube to bellhousing (if they're not the same as the auto TT to bellhousing)
Hoping to pick these bolts up ASAP tomorrow if someone knows the sizes.

What bolts do you have? Post a picture.
I just had my whole driveline out.
Trans to torque tube and torque tube to bellhousing were all the same. 13mm head that was kind of rounded... sorry im not at home right now to measure anything.

I don't have any bolts at all. Trans, torque tube, bell housing, & shifter all came separate & without bolts.

I would very surprised if the bolts for TT, BH, and trans etc were different. The shifter box you should be able to go to a dealer and them tell you the answer to that. Its a torx bolt. Shifter linkage is the same as the shifter mount.

shift box to torque tube you can use old header bolts if you have some, same with the shift linkage to shifter and actually a header bolt is better than the torx bolt in this location
