GM Engineers to my Redline: No it's okay, you don't even need that bolt.

So yesterday I tore the transmission out of my car to put the clutch in today and split the load between two days instead of all at once. I pulled the entire fusebox/frame/pcm out to remove this one bolt (it's about a 15 minute job to get the fusebox out, but still) only to find:



It's not even THERE! Lol. Way to go GM, you never cease to amaze me. Also, here's a pic of the clutch about to be installed:



Unsprung, undamped, unweighted = all kinds of fun trying to drive on the street haha.

Also, here is my VERY last dyno graph from the car with a blower on. The reading is a little blurry, but it comes in at 335whp @ 6118rpm and torque was 349 ft.lbs. @ 3650rpm. The blower comes off this week to make room for the Borg Warner S285 :-)

DUDE, don't put that clutch in with that bolt missing, pack the clutch up ASAP and ship it to me, i'll take care of it for you.

How bout...no. Lol. Plus you will also require a strengthened tranny. These pucked clutches do NASTY things to stock FWD transmissions lol.

But no worries, I have three spare LSJ engines here with all the bolts and such. I just pulled one of the bolts from one of them to use.

Well one is actually a 2.4 from a place here that does V8s in Solstice/Skys that I bought with like 90 miles on it, one is out of a Cobalt SS, one is my own engine, and one is my spare engine.

I believe a 150 shot. It's only hard if you're not spraying the shit out of the car.
