SOLUTION - 2018 Bolt head sizes are as follows:

2018 flywheel bolts are size torx plus 55 TP55.

Bellhousing bolts are 13mm all around, two require deep 13's on the passenger side.

There are two cover plate stud bolts on the bottom that are 13mm also.

The six stock clutch pressure plate bolts are all 10mm

----

So - question for those "in the know" - I dropped the trans out of my 18 GT last night and pulled the stock clutch. Was geared up this morning to pull the flywheel, replace with the Mantic, and put it back together today. Then I looked at the stock bolts for the flywheel to the crankshaft.

They appear to be Torx Plus style, and that largest I have in plus is a TP50. Does anyone know what size these bolts are for the TP socket and where I can find one that big? A TP50 just wallows around in there like a (insert your favorite joke here.)

Thanks for any help!

Worth a shot. I bought a master kit of all types of torx finally - it's a TP55. I sourced my kit off amazon for about $50 - but snap-on sells an 11 piece set with the one you'd need for about $412. Pretty easy math. Hope this helps someone searching for what I was -
