Transmission stud

Does the bolt and the stud share the same thread size and pattern? If so take the bolt down and see about a nut to fit it.

This is where it becomes odd.

I have a template for hole sizes. I measured it...and bought a nut and bolt in that size. The bolt was too large for the hole and the nut was too small for the stud.

So i bought a bolt one step smaller and a nut one step larger .. all in fine thread.

The bolt will fit but it feels a bit loose and the nut is too big.

Odd, eh ?
