It's funny how every repair book i have on this car doesn't tell me what the bolt size is for the 41te solenoid pack. There are 3 bolts that mount it to the transaxle 2 of which i found stripped (the holes not the bolt threads). I plan to buy a Heli coil thread repair kit but i must have the bolt size. Are the bolts m6-1.0 x 90mm? I need this confirmed so i can order the kit. I went to torque the bolts at 105-inch pounds and succeeded only getting 1 at that spec then saw the other 2 (left side and center) were spinning, pulled them out and saw aluminum in the threads! I need this info as quickly as possible please.

They don't give us bolt size, you must remove the bolt in question and use a thread checker to see what size is needed for the helicoil. Sorry we were not more help. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
