My dumb a## jacked up a bolt for the pressure plate. I went to the parts store and the only bolt they had that would fit was a grade 8, 13mm bolt, everything else is the same as the stock one. The stock one looks to be a grade 7, 12mm. It fits but is it ok to use this bolt? I just don't want to have any issues down the road.

 

anyone? I'm at the point to put the tranny back in.

 

Using a different bolt will not be a problem. The stock bolts are not all that great. I would highly recommend either replacing all of them or using two of the different style bolts and place them directly opposite eachother so that any difference in weight is counteracted by the other bolt so balance will not be affected.

 

awesome thanks for the reply, I will be finishing my act clutch and flywheel tonight after all.
