If you don't have the proper dowels you could use two drill bits of the
appropriate diameter instead and once you get the tranny bolted up remove the
bits and insert those last two bolts. These dowels are/were available, I
bought two of them last year when I had mine apart.

Subject: [6pack] Transmission Locating Dowels
Folks,
Herman's 5 speed installation directions stress the use of the locating
dowels between the engine backing plate and the tranny bell housing.
Well....I don't have any locating dowels there. I've got them between the
tranny and the bell housing but only bolts and/or studs between the backing
plate and bell housing. There's two studs side by side at 12 o'clock. I'll
be mounting the tranny to the engine with BOTH out of the car if that makes
a difference. So is this lack of locating dowels a problem and, if so,
what's the options?
As always.....thanks
Bob
