Seems to me that the bolt in your earlier post is no. 14 in the enclosed parts catalog below, which is a "Stop screw M26 x 1.5" and which does not appear to be the same item as the one which I brought up for discussion.

Nevertheless, I think that I have already beat this horse to death by now, so with thanks to all and with apologies to the OP for steering off their original topic, now signing off this thread.

Thanks- DM.

Since I am unable to find a 6 speed repair manual, I thought the next best thing would be a photo. On the left bottom is the drain/fill hole. Directly to the right you can see the reverse gear with it's shaft and what appears to be a hole through the shaft just behind the mounting boss. The bolt in question appears to penetrate this hole to stop the shaft from sliding out. Unfortunately I had a 5 speed only manual. My apologies and Sorry for the confusion.
