I went to buy some oil filters from my local dealer and thought I would ask if they would just give me the bolts to install myself. These are the 2 bolts missing on most (if not all person's) 5sp manual transmissions at the bottom of the bell housing for the inspection plate. This plate rattles like a ***** when the engine is first started cold due to the missing bolts. I don't want to go through the hassle of making an apointment and them having my car for probably 2-4 hours just to install 2 bolts. I will just do it when I do the oil change.

Well, the dealer has no listing for the bolts I handed them the pictures off of a previous post showing the missing bolts. This dealership has been very good to me, I know most of the counter staff by their first name, so I know they are not just giving me a line. They are going to investigate and find out what bolts fit there and then give them to me.

Also, when they ran my vin number on the computer, up popped a note saying "2 bolts". Apparently it was not related to the missing ones I have, very odd. I know I could go to a hardware store and pick up a couple of bolts (10mm I think) and install, but I want the proper ones for free. I will update when I have more info.

Thanks I appreciate it. Like you, I would prefer to do it myself.

I think this is the rattle i hear on mine. As soon as I hit 3K RPMs...rattle rattle rattle. I will look to see if these missing bolts are the cause.

There is a post in this forum with great pictures. Search for key words missing bolts, I think that will work. The title of the topic was attention 5sp owners..... something like that. Better yet, I will bump it up for you
