Transmission Bolt Diagram?

[Adam]

I’m a beginner doing a full restoration and I’m installing the transmission this weekend. When I took it off I forgot to label where each bolt goes. Seeing as they are different sizes this seems important. Does someone have a picture or can describe which bolts go where?

There's a simple way to tell, though- drop the bolts

into their prospective holes.  If you're right, you'll show

about 15mm or so gap between the head and the shoulder.

Often, you'll be able to easily see where it's not right,

swap a few around, and off you go.

 

that's how I do it.  I do usually keep the fasteners for

one subassembly together- ish.  In tuna cans.

 

Also, if you start snugging a bolt and it feels soft,

see if the head's bottomed onto the shoulder.

Often, you'll discover you have a bolt that's

5mm too long in the hole.

When you replace the trans be sure to turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, it  will give you a skoosh more room between the tie rod and the trans tunnel.

I could not find this information after searching the FAQ.  RealOEM is missing a few of the bolts on their diagrams.  I was in the process of ordering these bolts, washers and nuts so mount my Getrag 245, 5-Speed Transmission to my S14 Block.  Between RealOEM and measuring the block and transmission mounting points, here are the bolts I came up with for this process.

 

Maybe this will help others with this chore.

For the next time someone removes a tranny,  sketch a diagram of the Bellhousing on a piece of cardboard then poke the bolts thru at the positions.

According to Ray, here comes some bad advice your way.  

 

You can always use washers to stack if the bolt is too long.  Other than the top 13mm head and the two side 17mm head bolts most are threaded through so perhaps use non shouldered bolts there. The two lower 10mm head bolts for the inspection cover are short, or cut one down to fit.   

 

but what do I know.

Also some more of my wisdom, being good or bad, is to jack up the front of the engine whilst the trans is being fitted so it matches the "approach" angle.  I use two extra long bolts as guide rails first. on the pass side insert a long 17mm and a long 13mm bolt through the trans case and then thread them into the block. Slide it forward until you seat the input shaft into the clutch disc.  

 

but what do I know some more
