Very rarely do we see a modern fastener loaded in shear.
Wouldn't a flywheel,pressure plate,or ring gear be a "loaded in shear" application? Some flywheel bolts have a shoulder built in to keep it from shearing off. Most import pressure plates have pins to help locate the plate and provide additional shear protection from what Toyota engineers have told me. Gus
