    you should be able to use the same bellhousing bolts for the gearbox's

    near the shifter is 4 wires. 2 are for the lights in the auto shifter. the other 2 are the "start only in park" wires. join these together to bypass. (might be black from memory?)

    M12 x 1.25pitch, any bolt store but they will have an 18mm head instead of 17mm.
