Default C5 A4 Transmission Picture

I am a bit bored so I thought I would post a pic and see if anyone can find out what is not correct. Below are a couple of pics of my C5 A4 transmission/rear end just as it was taken out of my C5. Can anyone tell me what is wrong in the pics?

Yes someone left them out. I had a new motor, tranny and rear end built and installed by the Vette Doctors. And from the first pass the car was never right. I had major issues with the motor and drive train. When it was all taken apart this is how we found the transmission. And this is one of the minor problems.

From what I have read and heard Vette Doctors have pretty good reputation. Did they stand by their work and make it right? Pretty bad oversight to leave those bolts out.

I had been a customer since 1996. Carmen wouldn't even return my phone calls.
