Flexplate/flywheel bolts. HELP!

7671 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  jdeitch
I just completed the reseal of the 722.3 trans in my 1987 300D turbo. I also replaced the engine rear main seal. The new flywheel bolts I got from Mercedes Benz are different than what came out. The original bolts are 12-point 12mm. The new bolts are t50 torx. Are these upgraded bolts? Superseded part? What torque setting do I use? Is the locking plate from a newer model now required? Thanks in advance for your prompt/helpful reply. Hoping I have the right parts. Really need to get this all back together asap. I only want to do this job once, correctly.

I would check with your dealer since I think the bolts on the left are for the auto flexplate and they are stretch bolts. The ones on the right look like the manual flywheel bolts.
