Where can i find a replacement bolt for my 96 v6 5speed bellhousing. As it is there are two missing from the bottom and there is a nice gap. Also what kind of problems would this cause? Ive noticed that no matter how hard i try i can never seem to get into second gear right, it always jumps as if i was barely starting to learn manual.

check at your local chevy dealership. they still have a few parts for the lt s, ya never know. and they should be able to tell u what it is. my book for 93 shows a cover screw m6.3x1.81x20

 

those screws are for the cover and would not effect shifting. you could have a trany mount going but from what is in the pic i would say u got some oil on the clutch and that will make it grab. also will go to pieces if thats whats going on. change the intake manifold gaskets if u havent, make sure to clean the front and back block and intake surfaces extra well. the rvt seal is known for falure on those two surfaces. then get under there and clean that up. lol

 

how do i test the intake manifold gasket? i had a mechanic tell me that the lower gasket was causing a vacuum leak but when he took it apart we found out that it was fine and it was something else causing a coolant leak. by the way its not a an lt1 its a 3.8, nd yes there is oil but im not a master mechanic and tought it was leaking because it was loose, i thought there was suppose to be fluid in there

 

oh, gettin tired. sorry my bad. the screw should be the same size for the rs. hardware store should have one. sure looks like the oil is coming from up above the trans but could be its blown back. nope dont want oil in there. are u losing clutch fluid?

 

how can i tell if im loosing clutch fluid

 

check the fluid in the clutch cylinder reservoir, should be under the hood by the brake cylinder reservoir.
