The part number is 7A443. I don't know the rest of the number. I'd call a transmission shop to see if they have a source. Even the "pre-owned", (aka "pre-stretched") ones are ridiculous on eBay.

I’m a week or so behind you on pulling my transmission too… I'd be tempted to just replace them with regular grade 8 (or better, probably stainless) bolts in the same size.
