All the OEM stretch bolts needed to reinstall the transmission mounts and dogbone when doing a clutch job on a Mk4 TDI. These are torque-to-yield (stretch) bolts, which VW specifies as single-use — reusing the old bolts after removal risks improper clamp load on the mount and dogbone hardware.
This kit includes (10 bolts total):

FAQ
What is this kit for?
Reinstalling the transmission mount, console, and dogbone hardware after a clutch, flywheel, or transmission removal on a Mk4 TDI.
Do I need new bolts, or can I reuse the old ones?
These are OEM stretch (torque-to-yield) bolts. VW's spec calls for single use — replace them any time the mounts or dogbone are removed rather than reusing the originals.
Does this include the clutch itself?
No — this is mounting hardware only. Pair it with a clutch kit such as the South Bend Stage 3 Endurance kits.
Does this fit a 6-speed Mk4?
No. Use the 6-Speed Tranny Stretch Bolts (Mk4 Conversion) kit for 6-speed swaps.
