Can someone with a GST please go out and take a picture of the lower rear bolt that goes from the engine to the transmission. On my car the Inspection cover is missing, and there is a bolt that goes from the engine to the transmission right above the drive shafts. Im not sure if there is supposed to be a gap there or not. I first thought there was supposed to be one, so i put the bolt in and tighened it with a spacer between the engine and tranny, but it kept wiggleing out for some reason. After tightening that bolt 4 times i decided i would just skip the spacer and tighten it as much as possible. now it doesnt come out but im not sure if there was supposed to be a gap there for lining everything up.
Can someone please go out, jack up their car and take a picture of the bolt right above where the drive shafts come into the tranny so i can compare? Thank you.
