Transmission pilot bolts

[RonR]

Folks,

Which mounting holes for the transmission/engine do the two pilot bolts belong?

Thanks.

The only 'pilot' bolts I know of go through the bottom of a C-channel into a horizontal mount on the rear of the OD. The angled side mounts have slots to allow for variance in these two. Items #22 on this page (though I think the label is misleading if not incorrect):

Sorry, the correct term is "dowel bolts."

Facing the gear box at the rear:

1] at the top is a flange with two holes,the hole on your left is the first location for a dowell bolt

The second bolt is located 180 Degrees in a clock wise direction from the first..
As I remember i think that is the 5 o clock postion.?

Correct! The dowell bolts go in the 11:00 O'clock (Upper left) and 5 O'clock (Bottom right) positions. (Side Shift Gearboxes)
