How about some help, i could not find that, how about u? Took me 10 min to find the tranny on that thing "ESM"

yea I just got to my ESM as well - but no where does it mention anything about bolt size - not even under the special tools section.

I was over at my friends place (when I first posed the question)- about to change it out for MT-90 - until I noticed it wasn't an what most are - a 3/8" drive square - so a socket will fit - not Nissan - let's be different.

 

[wild willy]

Just do it

Guess you will just have to crawl under with all of your sockets and get to size'in

 

[javentre]

I did do that - and I don't have the right size! So before I trott off to sears I was gonna try to find out what I need rather than buy some jumbo set

 

[wild willy]

Shit

Well that certainly sucks! What does it look like, it is not a torque head is it?

 

[javentre]

I don't think so - it's kind of hard to get a real good look at it unless you jack the car up. Since I've got gorilla arms I can get to them while the car is flat - just pull back that plastic shield a bit and voila. I think it's an allan type - but it must be around 3/8" of an inch - but in metric of course - what's that equiv to? 10mm?

 

[wild willy]

?

Sorry, do not know!

 

[javentre]

thanks anyway - I'll let you know tomorrow what it turns out to be.

It is 10mm allen wrench. Better buy a allen socket since it is tight and you don't want to bung it up.

 

[javentre]

It sure was 10mm. Man - did that Redline smooth out 2nd gear shifting (when cold)!! I used MT-90
