I need to replace some lost or misplaced bellhousing bolts for the 3VZE engine with standard transmission. Would anyone on here know the sizes of the bolts that are required? I'm having one hell of a time finding anything online so far. Maybe someone has a parts breakdown of this engine and tranny that would show bolt info??? HELP

(how did you lose the mounting bolts?)

 

My son decided to pull everything apart at his school (with teacher supervision of course) hahaha. The truck came home in pieces and now I'm fixing it.

 

Give me a second...I'll go measure one I've got so you can pick some up at the hardware store.

M12 x 72mm x 1.25 with a lock washer

You'll probably have a hard time finding 72mm. But 70mm will work. I've already replaced one of mine with a 70mm.

 

Did it cost less than $3.07?

Obviously, IF you can find it at the hardware store, and it's close to the right size, paying more money is worth it for the convenience and to avoid shipping costs. But my excellent hardware store gets a fair piece of change for metric bolts onesy-twosy. (and that's for simple stuff like 12x25mm) It continues to surprise me that sometimes ordering the OEM part and waiting a week works out. Plus you can do it sitting on your butt.

 

Oh...I'm guessing I paid twice that easily. For metric grade 8.8.

The only bolts I've ever ordered from Toyota were torsion bar bolts. Because they're impossible to source elsewhere. In general, Toyota only gets my money for things I can't get from someone else. Which is almost nothing...ever. OEM parts are great. Even better when/if from another source/without the stealership mark up.

 

I buy all the odd size hardware from the dealer I think the hardware prices are very good .

Balanced out by all the Coffee I drink when picking them up.

It is easy to lose hardware I do it all the time
