i just dropped my transmission today (first time, w00t!) and although both the tech and the fsm show 10 bolts holding the bell housing to the motor, i only pulled off 9. i think i know where the 10th should have been, but i'd like confirmation.the following picture is taken looking towards the rear end of the car. the clearly visible hole just to the right of the oil filter was mated up to a spot on the bell housing where it looks like a bolt should have been. 
as you can see, there isn't even any marking on the metal like a bolt was there recently. i looked through the plate while the transmission was still on the car and i thought i saw threads. anyway, if someone can confirm that there should have been a bolt here, that'd be great. if not, i guess i'll go look closer at the bell housing and figure it out. thanks. andrew davidoff
