I found a few other things needing attention already and I didn't even pull off the pressure plate yet. I have a few torn CV boots and a missing mounting bolt for the transmission. One of the nuts holding the transmission to the engine was only finger tight too. Makes me annoyed and also doubtful of the mechanic that performed the clutch replacement. What else was botched? Overlooked? Short cutted? I hope I don't need to replace the flywheel or pressure plate although I will replace the pilot and throw out bearing since it is all apart and was probably not previously done. Sorry to rant, just don't like laziness when it comes to repairs! It seems like no one can do their job a lot lately.

The "missing" trans bolt is not really missing. It was omitted by the factory for reasons unknown. There are a ton of mentions of this on the forum. I was concerned as well until I researched it. But,... When I put mine back together, I put a bolt on the empty hole, it just didn't seem right to leave it empty and I didn't think it would hurt anything.
