Fun at the repair shop today with my 99 Cobra- I got in a pinch this morning and had to have a shop put in a clutch assembly for me- Something I would rather do and have done myself, but long story.

Anyway, the shop gets it all wrapped up, and some idiot goes to top off the transmission fluid- Anyway I guess he thought he had the top filler plug, but instead he removed another allen headed bolt sticking out of the side of the transmission. Problem is that it was NOT the filler plug, and was a bolt about three inches long with a slot around it at the end that looks like it is for a C-clip or something of the sort.

The manager that I had been dealing with was already gone when I came by and expected to pick it up- I want to be informed as I can be when I start dealing with him in the morning- I'm trying to find out what that bolt goes does and what steps I need to demand that they take to ensure that the transmission is not screwed up.

Does anyone have a parts diagram for a T45 so I can figure out what removing that bolt may have done? Or maybe know what exactly that bolt does?

Thanks in advance-

Adam

It ended up being the bolt that holds the 5th/Reverse lever on the inside of the main case.
They ended up taking apart the trany to get it re-connected and replaced everything associated with 5th gear (Bolt, arm, linkage, synchro, etc)

Fixed now, but it sat a Tires Plus for almost a week, and was given back to me with the car not staying in 5th gear. Turns out when they installed the synchros they didn't put in "blockers". So next morning I was back at their shop and three days later, they finally got it fixed.

Pretty frustrating for a clutch replacement that should have been done same day.
