I was just wondering if anybody in here knew off hand what size bolt was supposed to go in the motor mounts on the 5SFE. Specifically the front mount where it goes into the block. Somehow I managed to lose one while driving and I need to get something put back in there quick.

That's a 14mm. Use locktite when put it back in. And that goes into the tranny by the way.

well mine are 17mm now... I somehow managed to yank them both out of the case... had to rethread for new bolts... what the **** was I doing that caused that? million dollar question...

wrong answer

front mount on the transmission

two bolts go into the case
they got torn out
zero threads left in the bottom hole

this did happen shortly after I had a clutch put in though

Those bolts are 14mm. If it was me, I'd take off the tranny. You are gonna have to get that bottom one rethreaded, but there isn't enough room to do it while the tranny is in the car. I know that casting isn't too wide so go with a 15 or 16mm if you can find one. If not use 17mm. This happened to the rear mount on my tranny. The casing broke off,lol, right down the middle of both bolt holes. I made two solid mounts that bolt to the block and the tranny.

They WERE 14mm. They have already been rethreaded to 17mm and I did do it with the tranny in the car. Didn't even have to unhook anything other than the 2 bolts left holding the mount in. No big deal at all, plenty of room in the front. Did it in the garage in about 30 minutes once I got the rethreader. Anyway, thanks to those that helped.
