i was looking at my primary today and noticed a broken bolt head at the bottom of my belly pan, it appears it came off my primary, the rest of the bolt is still in there, the clutch has no cracks or anything, does anyone know what could have caused this and better yet what should i do to fix this?, the rest of the bolts seem fine

You will want to remove the old bolt, then replace it.

yeah, but how, isnt the clutch softer metal then the bolt, how do i get it out?

Take the cover off of the clutch...assuming it is one of the 6 cover bolts. then try to get pliers on the broken one. otherwise you may have to try an easy-out on it. Normally when a bolt breaks, all of the tension is released and it will spin out easily.

Vice grips... aka Bolt strippers.... but I bet a good set will get that broken bolt out.

ok, but there is nothing to grip on to, the bolt is like 1/8-1/4 inside, this is why im stump, i would normally drill it out and rethread it, but i dont think i should do it to this, any other ideas?
An easy-out should get it, or tack a welding rod to it (low power). It shouldn't have any tension on it and should turn fairly easy unless the threads are messed up.
