Transmission bolts, I think I''m missing one????

I searched the forums and kinda found what I was looking for. I put my trans back in and I ordered all new tranny bolts from the part #'s I got from here. So when I was installing them I only installed 3 and then there were no more holes for me to put bolts in. I have a 1G AWD. I installed the top 2 right under the cam sensors, then there was one in front towards the radiatior at the botttom. When I looked from underneath at the back of the trans/block I do see another bolt hole and it also goes through the spacer plate but I can't find where that bolt would install. I thought that only the 2G had that really long bolt, so am I wrong. where did I go wrong here its racking my brain.

You would not have the left-most "U" bolt in a 1G.

I was looking for that link and couldn't find that one. The bolt I'm talking about is at "Q" location. the link said that gets bolted from the engine into the trans. I'll have to take another look at it maybe I just didn't see it correctly but I thought that the block was threaded at that location. Let me check it tonight and get back with you. Thanks.

The block may be threaded, but the threads should be oversized compared to the OEM-sized bolt.

You were correct. The threaded hole is larger than the bolt. Thanks alot. thats was driving me nuts because when I got the car it was missing bolts everywhere. Its already bolted up and back down on the ground, now to just button up the topside.
