Anyhow, swap is going great thanks to everyone here, but I am sort of worried.
I installed my new poly torque arm bushing (pita btw), and since it's so tight I tried putting the bolts from the t5 into t56, both of the bottom ones worked, but the top one (shorter one) went in on an angle for the first 1 or 2 threads because the bracket wont stay together on it's own.
Anyhow, I started to mess it up I think, and I took everything off, and just tried the bolt into the top mount alone (just to check the threads). It screws in by hand about 2 turns straight, and then I started using a wrench, well it felt a little tough getting it in there, but I could not tell if it was cross threading. I pulled it back out, and it looked the same before I started. I put the bolt back in again, threaded in great again, then started using the wrench and ****....a bit tough again.
I went all the way in with it, and the bolt feels solid, it's straight, but I'm worried I cross threaded the damn thing. Just wondering if anyone's used the stock bolts or not, or if I just ****ed this thing up. I don't have a tap and die set, (one of the last tools I need), so checking with one of those wasn't an option.

Just wondering if anyone knew the bolt specs for both the t5 and t56 offhand or ran into this personally.

Thanks

I'm having the exact same problem. Poly bushing, T56 swap, and can't get that top bolt to thread in. Goes in a couple turns without trying to install the bushing, then won't go any further without a wrench. I've given up trying to do it with the arm in place. I'm gonna just shove the arm through. But first I gotta get that mount and bushing in. Biggest problem I have is same thing can't get it to go straight in, always at an angle. Then I stop bec I don't want to cross thread or strip it. Making me wish I installed the Mount and Bushing while it was out of the car.
