Got the new tires put on yesterday. Adjusted the pinion angle of the rear, the best I could anyway. Rechecked all bolts and nuts from the install.

Torx Plus bits showed up today (finally). Now, I need to know if the transmission requires the torx plus bits or sockets? I thought I was told sockets and that is what I ordered... I received bits.

I don't remember and torx on the transmission, where did they say they were?

I was informed that the bellhousing to transmission bolts are torx plus.

Only Torx bolts on the BH were the ones I put on when I installed my QT SFI BH last summer

Prior to that none that I know of.

Maybe inside?

I may have to pull out the service manual and see what it shows. I'll post in our Eastern Members drag thread as those guys have had their transmissions in and out about a dozen times each.

**cpop98ws6** · 05-10-2011, 05:40 PM

Yes they are torx, and I am almost positive you need the bits.

That makes me feel better. Took me about a month to get these from the MAC guy.

look like torx to me. I didnt take the bell off though when i did my rebuild and upgrades.

**pajeff02** · 05-10-2011, 06:27 PM

Thanks! The Performabuilts do not include the bell or tailstock -- you simply swap yours over to the new transmission.

Ditto, I would accept a Trans Am/Sprotbike only lane (My alternative mode of transportation while my ECM is in the mail= ZX10R, at least my T/A has AC)
