IDK, the size of the screw is not listed in the parts book.

A M6 bolt was too small and 1/4-20 was tight. I'll tap it for 1/4-20 & make that work.

Re: Flexplate Cover Bolt Size

Since the book says "screw", I assume it is a course thread screw.

^^^^^

it is a course thread "screw"

The actual size I don't know.

Could just get a pack of # 6 & #8 ones at hardware store and see which one fits closest. They may "self tap" if slightly larger than OEM as the bellhousing is aluminum

Thanks for the help.

I ran a 1/4-20 tap thru them & worked good.
