Bell Housing/Starter Bolts, Do They Go All The Way Through?
I asked this question in another thread, but no-one with a 22-RE had responded:
I got the truck back from the stealer, the problem was a bad clutch disk, apparently the clutch material started to fray. Has anyone ever experienced that?
I inspected the work and it looks good, except I have a question... there are two bolts in the joint between the bell housing and the engine that do not go into the bell housing, but look like they should. Is this correct? Here is a picture to explain what I'm talking about. The bolts are above the slave cylinder.
Thanks
It would be the bolt labeled "C" in this picture and the bolt hole below it.

Sooo... they only hold the starter on, they do not thread into the bell housing at all?
Why is the hole in the bell housing threaded?

I revised my previous posts to read "bell housing" instead of transmission.
I think I'm getting a clearer picture; I did not do the clutch work myself, that is why I might be asking stupid questions.
In my original post, the picture shows that the starter studs/bolts are not screwed into the bell housing, should they be?
Do those bolts/studs only hold the starter on, and not help to fasten the bell housing to the engine (assuming there are threaded holes on the engine side)?
If so why are the bell housing holes threaded?
The new clutch is working great, however, if the dealer somehow screwed up I want to make sure they fix their mistake.

On my pickup, the bolts run through the starter holes, and into the bellhousing. They're threaded so the bolts can bolt into it.
No, they only hold the starter on and don't fasten the bell housing to the engine

Thanks, I did some more google searches and now I see that my question was pretty silly. Like you said the bolts go directly from the starter into the bell housing, they do not attach to the engine side at all. After work I'm going to take another look at it so I can get it straight in my head, I wonder why my bolts look so shallow.
29ft/lbs seems like a pretty high torque for aluminum threads, they must strip a lot.
