welded diff installed, bolt left over, don't know where from

[SHOslamwagon]

i took the tranny apart about 2 months ago and zip locked all the bolts in bags,

now i finally got the diff pins welded and the trans back together but i have a small bolt left over, and im not sure where from, i couldn't find a hole for it to into inside the tranny, and i don't see one on the outside.

i have the trans together now and im hoping i just accidentally picked this bolt up, buuuut if it is from inside the trans its from the reverse gear/shaft area because i took that area apart a bit before i found the 'manual'

and on a side note why does the 'manual' say i will be soooooory for removing the detent plunger retaining bolt?
-just looked at this a bit more and i presume theres supposed to be some sort of bearing and spring assembly in there? looks like im going to be making something. :S

pictures!!

the remaining bolt, not very big :S


welded diff pins!!


ground the burrs off/down, hopefully trans will be happy, no aluminium in my 'chicklets' hopefully my $200 tranny runs well

that bolt looks like it holds your speedo gear into the case

JJust cause its harder to reasemble cause you have to hold the pin in while reasembling the cases.

hmmmmm, what pin? the only thing i had to go there was a bolt, it didn't seem to hold anything in against the main shift control shaft
i was shifting between gears watching it move and seemed like there should be something there to lock into the detented bits on the shaft but nothing came out when i took it apart. or it exploded so fast i didn't notice it.
