New World Datsuns...

Looks like the trans is the issue?

This whole one step forward and two back is getting old quick.... So I got my bolts from Nissan and went strait to put em in the torque converter!!! About that......

Maybe they are.... Maybe they aren't

:/

I don't feel like finding out the hard way

Here's a Google img of the special bolts I had to order

$10 a piece from Nissan.....

Someone save me and send me some torque converter bolts....

Please?

The seatbelts have always been a bit janky and the pass seat wiggles around....
