Gearbox bolts. Whats ones go where ?



Following on from this thread i have sourced bolts for my gearbox as my originals went astray.

My next question is.

What bolt goes where as i have a few of varying lengths.

Top 3 go in the bottom between sump/box.
The lowest 2 go in the very too of the bell housing
Next 3 up go in the starter
The last one I think goes just above the clutch fork

Cheers buddy

Do i have the correct amount of bolts ?

Just a quick tip for anyone reading this, considering taking out the gear box... They all fit around the bell housing in a rough circle.

Best thing you can do is use a piece of card and punch the bolts through in the position they come out. So you end up with something the looks like a clock face, but made of bolts.

My mate mentioned he did that with his RX8, bit late now though.
Saying that they went missing after a house move so i dunno if the cardboard would have helped :(

Does anyone know how many bolts i'm meant to have ?
 
Same as the others. Yes there should be 2 nuts

Ok cheers

When you say the others ? Do you mean the short ones at the top of the pic ?

I noticed one nut goes on a bolt/stud that sticks out the engine block on the left.

Where does the second nut go ?
Does it go onto one of the bolts in the pic ?
Possibly the one with coned/chamfered/radius end ?
Or does it go on another stud somewhere ?

And does the starter bolts assist in holding the bell housing on ?

Really?

That's as it came in to me, span them out and snapped the picture..

Guess that box had been off before then....
