i was working on my flywheel and clutch for some time yesterday and was wondering when i had to torque the bolts back in at 20 pds, one of the bolts broke in half. i was wondering if anyone has had this problem before and if it'll be fine for me to drive around with. thanks

Pressure plate to flywheel bolt? It won't hurt anything to have a bolt missing but I'd try and remove the damaged portion and replace if you can. You don't want it backing out and becoming loose within the bellhousing.

how did you break a bolt with only 20lbs of force.... somebodies lying:stupid:

I agree with Russ, if you leave it, its likely to work its way out and get loose.

Im hoping he means a pressure plate to flywheel bolt.. those go to about 15-20 ftlbs and they like to strip.... dont even think about driving around with a pressure plate bolt missing haha
