Part Source has the JET brand sockets you can buy individually, I got my 10mm there for the T case for $5 something. Let me see if I can find the size on the tranny for you.

Princess auto. I don't know whose dumb idea that was but they should be made to go back and remove everyone of them. I usually replace them with regular hex heads when putting the tranny back in.

Meh you need the socket to get em out once, might as well reuse the factory one as you've now got the tool for it! haha.

Well if you're not pulling it, you don't need to worry!  ;)

While we are on the topic of replacing bolts, where do you get your bolts anyways?
