I have an 84 apart now.  I could take the bolt to napa next time and
figure out the size.
I have used heli-coil on the engine mounts for my 68 with a 1600cc air
cooled.
It worked great.

The best picture I could find of this is in the Bently 1980-1991
edition,
page 10.4.  The top right picture identifies nuts on studs on the
bottom of
the clutch housing.  The stud on the right side has apparently worked
its
way loose.  In checking, it would seem that the stud is an SAE rather
than a
metric.  Seems to be slightly smaller than the stud that is holding on
the
other side.  Guess something pulled out in the past and someone
attempted to
fix it.  Since I looked and could not find out anything about this
stud,
does anyone on the list know the size of the screw and how long it is?
I
guess I am going to have to pull the trans to fix it.  Has anyone had
this
problem before?  If the threads have been stripped, what is the best
fix?  A
Heli-Coil?
