so.....my utter brilliance is on display once again. I had an empty transmission that has been sitting for years and decided to replace the filter then fill er up. Everything thing went really smooth, except after removing several bolts, notice there are two different lengths, o [censored]. No biggie, just put them back where they will bolt in, done. Then I filled her up and closed up and was done for the day. How satisfying it was!!!
Then to my utter dismay, I returned to the garage the next day to the smell of trans fluid and a puddle on the floor. So, either I placed the bolts in the wrong holes or someone broke in and loosened the bolts. So now I need to find a chart or map that shows which bolts go where. Once I see that, I have to figure which bolts are which and rearrange them without losing anymore fluid, stuff is expensive!!
Anyone have a link to said chart or map?
That said, thinking about opening a transmission shop on the side!!!!

If my memory serves, the factory layout used the same length bots all around. And they were sorta short. Correct. All pan bolts are the same length. Probably the case has a couple stripped threads and the previous person installed the long bolts there. You should have felt the bolts not going to torque if that is the case.

Slightly longer bolts will sometimes catch the remaining threads in a stripped hole. Visually inspect the first threads in every hole, any missing is the location of the longer bolt(s).
