brian Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 what is the size of it ? there are quite a few phillips head screws in there. Quote
WinchedWolvy Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Posted January 7, 2008 round head not the tapered head,about 1/2 long Quote
BigRed350x Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) There are two of those little ones that hold a half-moon shape piece that holds one of the trans bearings in place and helps tie the who halves of the case together. Could be one of those? :shrug: Take a picture of the screw and who us and we might be able to help you more. Edited January 7, 2008 by BigRed350x Quote
ohiobanshee Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 It goes behind the clutch basket,there is a curved strap that holds the cases together.That's where it goes. Quote

spurdy Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 I think everything is tapered except the screws for the half moon bearing keeper. Sounds like your lucky enough it didn't bounce around and tear anything up. I broke shift shaft screw and it reeked havoc in my clutch case! Quote

Yeah, i had one of the screws come out of the clutch dampner cover......... fucked a bunch of shit up, gotta tear the new 4mil back apart to clean out all the aluminum shavings. lucky tho that it didn't get between any of the gears !!
