My flex plate on my 95 hardbody p/u 2.4L flex plate broke luckly not breaking off the flex plate bolts, but my question is what size and length r the automatic transmission bell housing bolts, I lost mine, I've looked everywhere online, but can only find bolts for the 240sx S14, I know nissan has discontinued the hardbody bolts. any help would be appreciated.

The bolt head is - 14mm - the diameter - 10mm - length - 63.5 - mm. (2.5 inches). The thread pitch looks course - roughly - 22 threads . Not positive if they are all the same length. You should be able to purchase the bolts at a local hardware store. Might have to make a couple trips to get the correct length.

one more question, on the 95 hardbody 2.4L auto trans, does the flex-plate have to be balanced, the reason I ask, I was told u do, but the old flex-plate doesn't have a weight on it, but it does have balanced stamped on it.

The flex plate is balanced from by the manufacture, there in no need to balance it. The difference is the the year and supplier that was used when the vehicle was made. Just a suggestion and an opinion, as long as you have the flex plate off it would be a excellent opportunity to replace the rear main seal.

ok, thanks, as for as the main seal it should be good, is a remaned engine that I haven't been too long replaced, its along story why I had to replace original, but short version I took truck to pep boys to have new timing chain and components installed and they ended up and ruined the original engine.
