I went to install my transmission and transfercase skid plates and I accidently used the wellnut ( I believe thats the right name for it ) that is slightly deeper for a transfer case hole. Will the shorter one intended for the transfer case skid grab enought to use on the transmission skid? Tried the closest dealer and they couldn't even find a part number for it so I tried a hardware store no luck eithor! |

If you can get 3-4 threads of the bolt into the nut it should be fine. |

I used one of the shorter wellnuts for the transmission skid and it worked fine. thanks. Even if you don't do a lot of offroading the transmission skid is a must for CRD owners because it offers portection for the oil filter that hangs way too low. |

I'll have to go search through the CRD section...... Has anyone tried relocating the filter or installing a bypass filter on a CRD yet? One of these days I hope to find one I can check out for the bypass system I have available. |

I would like to know as well. I modified my skid with spacers which dramaticly took some some clearance away from me. But I would love to see a bypass or relocation for the CRD oil filter |

What skid did you use? The one for 2005-2006 seems to have plenty of room to remove the filter and has access for the oil drain. |
