Default are there two size bellhousing bolts?

tiptronic if it matters.

If so, anyone now where long ones go, short ones go?

If not, I'll be having a discussion with a mechanic. on both sides the idiot tried to shove long bolts into holes that weren't deep enough. One side just bottomed out and stayed put, but obviously wasn't torqued. The other he sheared off in to block and tried to put a washer in to give it room to tighten down. it was finger tight when I pulled the motor/tranny last weekend. wtf is that all about? I can't stand incompetence.

The longest bolts are the starter bolts.

Default Also, the two M10x60 bolts at the bottom are recommended to be replaced by part# N 104 684 01.

They are slightly shorter and easier to remove and install.

It's not required but it does make it a bit easier.

Especially the next time you have to take the trans out (worth the 10 bucks)
