l'm sorry man...as for the clutch line bracket bolts, are you talking about the one underneath the battery that holds the hard line from the master to the soft line? if you are... i took 2 bolts from the battery tray... one that mounts the tray to the bracket, and then one from the bracket it self lol....

that sucks man. Hopefully you receive those flywheel bolts soon. I found that dealers receive those little bolts and non-special parts very quickly. As for the clutch line bolts, you could probably still throw the 5-speed in there first without them, or do as galantman03 says and take bolts frmo somewhere else. They're pretty generic Mitsubishi bolts

Thanks guys! Or I could probably get them at any hardware store. I just really need those flywheel bolts very badly.. I don't want to remove the auto trans while waiting for them and keep the engine hanging.

Here's a thought.... hardware stores have grade ten bolts, take your old flywheel bolts from the auto flex plate, compare the thickness from the flex plate two the fly wheel, take a measurement, and go look for machine thread bolts in grade ten, that match the length you need... I have the fridanza flywheel, it came bolts that were 6mm too long, so I cut em, and it works great.... look around at hardware stores, I'm pretty sure they'll have something, if not check out a speciality faster store. Hope that helps

get it from the dealer. The flywheel bolts have to be hardened steel.

**Galante** · 08-11-2010, 02:16 PM

I will definitely get the bolts for the flywheel from the dealer.. The other misc. bolts I can get from a local auto store..

I got the shifter cables bracket today.. I got it bolted to the trans! I still need the universal connector for the reverse lights. Thanks for the props Jigz!

no prob man, how close are you to completion?

**Galante** · 08-12-2010, 08:41 AM

I still have to install the trans and shifter cables this weekend.

**Galante** · 08-13-2010, 06:24 PM

I can't install the trans over this weekend. I don't have the 3g flywheel bolts yet.

I'm almost done w/ the swap.. I have not taken any pics yet. I just need to run the shifter cables.

**Galantfan88** · 08-23-2010, 10:39 AM

Now I can say I'm officially 5-Speed! Got everything hooked up today. Here are some pics. I would like to thank the ff people for their support Stewi, 4G63Lover (Jigz), Beam514, stvn_mj, Goosey, run1206 and all others i forgot to mention who helped answer all my questions to make this swap possible.

It's a different car now. I only have to wire the speedo and reverse solenoid. Also I have not properly installed the shift boot yet I just throw it in there.
