all...my friend has a 1999 996 and needs one of the 10mm bolts w/tourque head that bolts the transmission to engine...here is the socket that is used for this bolt showing the triple square socket head type:

**does anyone have a part# or source to buy just one of these??

thanks in advance

There are 4 different bolts, take a look at the pic (#7,8,9 and 10). Which one does he need? I might have them.

groovzilla

thanks...i PM'd you

I used one of these.

Same specs but without the XZN head.

900-067-229-01 (a cv joint bolt, same hardness, thread, pitch, length, but with an allen head).

groovzilla

is it a 12 point torque head or basic allen head which i belive is 6 point?

logray

Basic 6 point hex head (allen).

logray

If you aren't going to do the triple square bolt and use my suggestion, buy one of these too, it's 50mm instead of 48mm for the above part. 900-067-123-09. Buy that one plus 900-067-229-01. One will work.

But I can't remember which I used. One of them was exactly the same except without the XZN head.

groovzilla

is it possible to find the original with the 12 point XZN head which would match the others on the bell housing?

logray

I've been told that the bolts differ based on model years and factory where the hardware was made.

I'm not sure if you would get the XZN head if you ordered one new today, but you could try.

Is there a reason why you are looking for triple square?

groovzilla

i think thats the style on his transmission but if the 6 point hex head style is the only one available i'll buy one of those....appreciate the help

Hey grovezilla,

When I did my clutch job I decided to replace a couple of the bolts. Because of the time constraint, I went over to the Bellevue Porsche dealer where they only wanted ~4 bucks for each one. They also had them in stock.

Not a bad deal if you need them right away.

groovzilla

thanks...took "logray's" advise and i ordered the hex head style in 50 and 48mm lengths and they should be here by the end of the week... i'd like to locate the 12 point head if possible.

Anyone know the the torque specs for tightening the tranmission to flyhweel bolts?

Doug Donsbach

There are no transmission to flywheel bolts.

Flywheel to crank M10x1x50 (12.9) is 19 ft-lb initial torque followed by 1x 90-degree angle torque.

Thrust plate to flywheel M8 is 17 ft-lb.

Sorry, I meant transmission to bell housing. I found the answer in another thread. The 12mm bolts are 63 ft-lbs and the 10mm bolts are 33 ft-lbs.
