Ummm this can't be good
I finally pulled my tranny to be rebuilt today and when i got under there i noticed that all four bolts that hold the tranny to the bellhousing were missing. I have looked under there before and im pretty sure the bolts were there. I have never touched any of them though. Other than that the tranny came out real easy and without any problems. Any Ideas what caused the is and how to prevent it in the future the bolt holes do not appear to be stripped.

Are you the original owner? The reason I ask, is it sounds as if "Bubba," after the last engine pull, couldn't get the bell housing bolts to line up and...
I really don't think they simply "fell out." These bolts don't require lock tight, just normal torque specs. I think you've been bubba'd.

No I have only owned the car since last August. It has a lot of bubba work on it. I do believe the bolts were in there though because when I pulled the engine the bell housing did not fall off the tranny.

Does anyone know what size bolts are supposed to be in there? :confused:

I can't believe that thing worked! The loads on the front bearing and gears would make it pretty tough to keep in gear, I would think. If it moved back or twisted much at all, the shifter would no longer work properly (unless it's a Hurst), and make it tough to shift. I'm with redvetrcr on this. Even if it's hurt, bolt it back in and at least you'll have a better idea what actually requires repair.
