Nice illustration jorb.

But, we are not "on the same page" as kldob - 2 bolts holding something to something.

"The only bolts that could get chewed up, that are in that area, are the the universal joint bolts.
Also the bolts may have not had any locking clips."

"He does not know what it is called but he describes it as having two bolts and it holds the torque tube to the transmission."

That would be 4 bolts

Obviously we are not on the "same page" as you and your trans shop, kldob.

If you can post links to some photos, many people here will certainly be able to help you. Otherwise, we seem to be on the wrong page.
