'94 V6 Transmission Bolts

[patrickdelaney17]

So I just picked up my first 4runner and as the title says, it is a '94 with the V6 engine. So I looked under it the other day and noticed that there was some transmission fluid leaking under it. When I looked underneath, I noticed that there were two bolts missing from where the transmission meets the engine, causing the leak. I was wondering if anyone knew the names to( if there are any) the bolts that go in the holes there and where to get them. I do know that they are a 14mm head.

No I'm sorry that will not CAUSE a leak. That's the torque converter or front pump leaking which means pulling the transmission out

Thank you for the info, now as to the bolts, can I pick them up anywhere or is there some place specific? I was checking part diagrams but couldn't seem to find the part numbers.

I think don't quote me but a m10x1.50 that's 30-50 mm long with a lock washer should work not sure on the length but size and pitch are right

As for installing, it's just as easy as popping them in and tightening right?

Could you pull one more bolt out and take it to bolt shop and match it up. But 541 is right, no fluid will leak from these holes because they are missing. You got a leak in the bell housing and those holes seem to be the easiest way out. Sucks man but it sounds like a new pump is in order.

Should be as long as the old ones aren't broken off inside. If they are I'd just leave it until you pull the transmission to fix the leak

Also make sure it's trans fluid. May be oil from the rear main seal on the engine. As long as those bolt are just missing and not broke off in the block or the threads are stripped out then new bolts should go right in.

I was looking up some info on a torque converter and it said something about being oil pump driven. I doubt that is the pump that I need to replace. And thank you guys for bearing with me.

I don't know what you are reading the torque converter is connected to the flexplate which is connected to the engine and the torque converter spins impellers which drives transmission and creates pressure. There are multiple pumps inside the transmission. It is likely that the front pump seal or the torque converter are leaking just stay on top of fluid level for now

Thank you very much
