So I discovered on my 92 Explorer I am missing the bolts from the trans cross member to the transmission itself. Does anyone know what size those bolts are so I can get replacements? Its a 5 speed if that makes a difference.

M12. 1/2 is a hair too big, 7/16 is too loose.

Thus is for both the bushing and non bushing crossmembers. The former takes bolts longer than available in a hardware store, but iirc 92 was before any RBV got crossmembers with bushings.

That would be for the transmission mount on the crossmember? Trying to find the bolts that attach the transmission mount to the transmission itself. I think I worded the title wrong :dunno:

The Mitsubishi FM146 I have here looks like it takes M12-1.75 bolts to bolt the trans mount to the trans. I think they should be the same size for the M5OD (I seem to recall I reused them when I did my swap years ago anyway).

I'll change the thread title for you.

Indeed it is ½" -13.

M12-1.75 screws into the hole about 4-5 turns, then it binds up. I guess I must not have threaded it far enough in to realize this.

Hopefully no bolts were bought yet, oops :icon_twisted:
