Chosen Solution
I have a 1995 Isuzu Trooper 4x4 with an Automatic Transmission, The so-called tranny shop that rebuilt it used no lock tite on any bolts at all. First, the torque converter bolts backed out, got that fixed, then the bell housing bolts that hold the bell housing to the OD case all backed out and the tranny slid apart. So Now I need to find out the Bolt size and length and how many there were, so when I go to rebuild this thing I can make sure I get everything that I will need to complete the rebuild and do it right the first time. Is there anyone one here that can help me with the corrct bolt sizes and lengths that I need ? Thank you
The area you described is not an area you generally use loctite but if your a bit paranoid use blue so you can get them out again later . These bolts if torqued to the proper specs should not back off . Thats why theres specs for them . “That should be good enough " isnt always enough or could be too much . If the torque is not evenly distributed through the entire ring then the odds are good the bolts will back out . As for the proper bolt size and length your dealer can help with that . Some auto parts stores can also get the right bolts for the job . Its important that the proper head be used to lock the bolt in place under torque . Just having the right length , size and thread are not enough make sure its the proper flanged head as well . Hope this helps
