Greetings..and..Transmission

Question :

My gearshift case (that lop sided beast which is the last thing to go back on today before The Big Assembly), has the usual grease where the shift lever comes into it, into those 2 plastic parts, but also has a puddle of oil inside it where that lower plastic part sits (the cylindrical ring part). Is that oil normal? Should it be there?

Since I can't find any info on that oil being there, and it's not in your pictures, going to presume the prior owner or jiffy lube shop did that no-no of trying to fill the trans there.

Anybody with a 1992 Tracker have a picture of the driver side engine (top view, down) they could post, showing manifold area, above, and below? And then one from the passenger side, kind of top view down too?

Not sure if fell from above given how long ago I started this, but have 3 bolts I can't find a home for yet. One is smallish, 10mm or 11, clean. The other 2 are 14's I think, and large, but also clean, no oil on them. So they didn't come from the transmission or front area there (clutch bell area).

Thanks for any help, or suggestions . (and thanks for all prior)
