Is it my imagination, or are there a dozen different fasteners for this cobbled-together setup? Seems like there are two different sizes (10 and 12), multiple lengths, and even different configurations (some threaded holes, some through holes with nuts/bolts).

I must give this a hearty WTF. . .

Staring, sifting through my bolt bag actually took the wind out of my sails at about 4 PM yesterday. . .got the clutch assembled, but didn't get the motor in.

Meanwhile, my buddy was putting his 2.5 bellhousing on, using 4 uniformly sized and spaced bolts. Yar!

. . .and also on this topic, do these puppies go in alone, or with washers?

I'm afraid I let far too much time pass between uninstall and install!

Ha, found the FSM page on this. It actually has a map of the bellhousing with all the bolt sizes.

Yes, this is a royal PITA. I encountered the same issue while building the 941 and Club Sport motors.

If you scour PET carefully, you can piece it together. But it is a PITA.
