Mark this day on your calendars, guys! Today I actually agree with Stanton.
The dowels are there to get the transmission centered on assembly.

Use it, no fixing required. Be sure to torque the bellhousing bolts to spec.

Sorry, But I disagree. IMO of the pins only purpose was hold it while its bolted up,,why not use roll or spring pins?

IMO,
1st - the pin align the trans to the engine
2nd - they prevent the case from rotating or moving in any way to prevent braking parts.
