OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi Transmission-to-Engine Shoulder Bolt M12 × 130mm
N-907-672-02 is an original Volkswagen Group fastening component that retains the assigned transmission-to-engine mounting point in the documented fastening arrangement. The confirmed Passat profiles below identify the original gearbox arrangements and fastening locations that specify this exact part. One individual bolt is supplied.
Technical details
- OEM number: N-907-672-02 / N90767202.
- Catalog identity: Shouldered hexagon-head bolt.
- Factory specification: M12 × 130; 12mm nominal metric thread diameter and 130mm nominal catalog length.
- Profile visible in the original photo: external hexagon head, integral collar, smooth shoulder and threaded section.
- Assembly: Assigned engine-to-transmission mounting-hardware position, as detailed in the fitment table.
- Supply: One individual component; related bolts, nuts, washers, sleeves and brackets are separate items.
The long shoulder and threaded section form the assigned original bolt profile. Correct length and position matter when assembling the engine and transmission: a shorter or longer bolt with the same nominal thread size is not automatically a suitable substitute.
Common reasons to replace
Common replacement reasons include rounded hexagon edges, damaged or corroded threads, a distorted head or collar, a damaged shoulder, or missing or incorrect fastening hardware. Inspect the component during transmission removal and refitting, and follow the applicable original instructions where hardware renewal is required. Correct fastening hardware helps restore the intended assembly at the specified mounting point.
Check the complete mounting joint before selecting replacement hardware. Incorrect alignment, damaged mating threads, worn alignment sleeves or a distorted seating surface need their own repair. Replacing this part alone will not correct those conditions. A transmission noise, vibration or starting concern is not sufficient evidence that this particular component has failed; diagnose the complete assembly and identify the affected fastening point.
Installation and service notes
Verify the full OEM number, installed gearbox code and exact original fastening position before purchase. Engine-to-transmission mounting arrangements can vary by gearbox and drivetrain, and parts at adjacent catalog positions can have different specifications. Keep removed hardware organized by position rather than choosing replacements by appearance alone.
Inspect the receiving threads, shoulder seating arrangement and any associated alignment sleeves before assembly. Align and support the components according to the original procedure, start the bolt by hand, and do not use it to force a misaligned mounting joint together. Follow the applicable service procedure for access, component support, assembly sequence and final tightening. Tightening values and any renewal requirements belong to the complete original joint and must be taken from the vehicle-specific procedure. Do not substitute a generic torque or add an unverified thread treatment.
Vehicle fitment
The confirmed profiles below apply only where the original mounting arrangement specifies N90767202. Check the installed gearbox, engine and assigned hardware by VIN, particularly if the vehicle has had a transmission conversion or other drivetrain changes.
