Got around to diagnosing my trans leak today, and the 3 bolts directly below my driver side trans mount were hand loose and fluid with bubbling through them.

Mount is removed so they are easy to see.

Any idea what these are for? I searched and couldn't find any info.

I am going to change the fluid, just want to make sure there isn't any permanent damage from these loose bolts.

 

Three hex things with aluminum washers are two poppets and the interlink for the shifter. Anyway, no damage unless the fluid level got low. Whoever had the transmission apart missed a little tightening.

 

Those "bolts" are actually the detent ***** for the shift rails. Just torque them to spec, ensure trans is full, and move along.

 

Thank you for the response, very helpful!
