Hi everyone. I am going to be converting my auto EF XR6 to manual soon and am missing some bolts from the conversion kit I bought (fair enough for the price I paid). I already have the 6 flywheel bolts but am missing the bellhousing bolts, clutch assembly bolts and the 4 bolts for the T5 to bellhousing (I believe these are 12mmx1.75in course thread and 15mm head). For the 6 clutch assembly bolts that I am missing for the pressure plate, I was just going to head down to my local bolt store (Cost Less Bolts) and figure those out unless someone here knows the specs so I can just pick them up with no fussing around.
But as for the bellhousing bolts, are the auto bolts the same as the bolts required for the manual bellhousing? I don't want to remove the auto just to figure that out and was hoping someone here already knows the answer. I of course have both bellhousings, but only the bolts in the auto currently installed. Hoping to convert before the New Year. Thanks! |

Just went down to try and sort out the rest of the bolts with no luck. Also rang Etheridge Ford and they quoted me the part number for the 6 clutch assembly bolts (but they don't have the specs) and can order them in. I really need them sooner than that and I bet it will be damn expensive, too. Part number was E602550S303.
So basically as of now I have the correct bellhousing bolts (from auto) and the 6 flywheel bolts. Can anyone help me with the specifications of the remaining bolts that I need? I need: 6 bolts for the clutch assembly (pressure plate etc) and the four bolts for the bellhousing to the T5 itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! |

Not sure, but I think the Bellhousing to Gearbox bots are the same, ring Ford and ask them.

Ordered the 6 pressure plate bolts though. $27 or so (picking them up tomorrow morning). Probably $7 from a bolt place but I need them tomorrow and I've no idea what specs etc they are. No risk in getting genuine though so I'm happy. Now to sort out these 4 bellhousing to T5 bolts. Could indeed be same as for auto. Am researching that now. |

Think the pressure plate bolts have a captive spring washer maybe? Probably be really hard to find if not getting genuine...
Cheers, Tim

Cheers, Tim Yeah I figured I'd best to get genuine so I ordered directly from ford and picking them up tomorrow. Apparently dimensions are as follows: M10 X 1.25 X 16 grade 8.8 Now trying to find the last 4 bolts that I need (bellhousing to T5). Apparently are: Diameter: 12mm 1.75 pitch, course thread Length: 1.5in Head: 15mm Called two places now and no luck. 15mm head throws them off the most. Will obviously be fine with a smaller bolt head as long as it's not too small and a washer is used. Finding 8.8 grade is also pretty challenging. |

Most ford bolts are odd because of the socket size... If you could find any M12x1.75 grade 8.8 bolts I wouldnt be too concerned about the socket size as long as you can get a socket to fit (can't remember the orientation as to where they're up against the side or not) M12 usually have a 18mm socket size, but some (inc stainless) have a 19mm socket size...
Cheers, Tim

Use the bolts that hold the auto extension housing to main body for gearbox to belhousing.
