    Good looking out matt. I forgot you ground them down a little. Hmm jigz your flywheel is aftermarket if the flexplate bolts don't fit. Looks just like how my lightened flywheel looked with the stock bolts

    If they are the same as the V6 flywheel bolts, I believe they are M12x1.5
    Though, I would go to a hardware store to be 100% sure.

    Did you order OEM bolts from the dealer?? We were going to do that with Marc's clutch install but the OEM bolts we took off were still too short and even OEM replacements would have been the same length...maybe you found another OEM application to use then???

    well, the dealer told me that the flywheel bolts are longer than the flexplate bolts. I haven't paid for them yet so If they are indeed shorter still, i wont buy them.

    I also ordered the flywheel bolts for the 02 Eclipse instead of the Galant.

    Ahhh, you are good to go with those then I would think. Marc and I were hung up in his install on a saturday with crap all tore apart lol. Pretty much just the sit and wait game now...it blows.

    Just so that this is noted, the dealers listing for "Flywheel bolts" for the 3G is the same size and length as the flexplate bolts. Good thing I didnt pay for them.

    Anyways, was ATTEMPTING to put the trans in today but no dice. I ended up getting some M12 x 1.25 bolts from NAPA for the flywheel and one of the threads on one of the bolts stripped so I need to get another new bolt but NAPA was closed by te time I started to work on the car. So I'm going tomorrow morning to get more bolts.

    I do have one concern though, with the longer bolts, once the two flywheel washers and the flywheel is on, the bolt only protrudes about a little over an 1/8th of an inch out the back, will this work or do I DEFINITELY need new bolts?

    When we did Marc's clutch I think we had about 1/4-3/8" actually threading into the crank. Having 1/8" only threaded in may work, but it is very risk that it could twist the bolts right out of the crank and as a result stripping the bolt threads and threading in the holes too.

    Atleast we know the OEM flywheel and flexplate bolts are identical now, the aftermarket flywheels are probably much thicker than OEM.

    Meh 1/8 of a inch is NOT GOING TO WORK DONT TRY IT. When threading a bolt that has to sustain any type of force it is a must to have at least 1 and a 1/2 times the diameter of the bolt threaded into the hole.

    Jigz just have them order you a set for a dsm 7 bolt they are like 3 bux a piece and the thread and length will work for you.

    I personally wouldnt get bolts from a hardware store, I would only use Mitsu bolts in this case. The guy must have ordered the wrong bolt. The 7g/2g auto bolts are shorter then the 5spd. I get 7g/2g/3g bolts are the same part number.

    They must've, cuz I swear those bolts were the same as the flexplate bolts.

    I got my parts guy on the line trying to find some ARP flywheel bolts.

    Worse comes to worse I need to find a Genuine Mitsu flywheel.

    I just ordered the 7-bolt flywheel bolts from EXTREMEPSI.

    They better be the right length.
