A Little Worried.

I am almost done with replacing the rear main, flywheel and clutch and I found these two little 11mm bolts. Any ideas what they might be for? I am gonna lose it if I have to pull this thing completely back apart AGAIN.

The only thing I can think of is the EGR things on the back of the heads because I removed that while I had it apart, but they seem a little short for that.

Kind of looks like starter bolts to me

nope, I am just a dumbass. They hold the shifter handle on. this is a different trans than what I pulled out and I removed the shifter while the trans was on the ground next to the car. whew!

well they are tapered so they aren't for something in the engine. Bellhousing?

If they are for the shifter wouldn't they have a little gasket maker on them?

They hold the shifter handle to the shifter, not the shifter to the tail shaft. Thankfully!
