Short easy question that i've been searching for a good 3 hours for. Are the long starter bolts: 01121-03751 / 95mm / 2 needed : the same for both automatic and manual transmissions? Basically i'm doing the 5 speed swap and wondering if i can reuse the 2 bolts i had for the starter.

I may be spreading false information, but i just read that a few of the bolts dont need to be used. The bolts for the lower engine gussets dont necessarily need to go on if you dont plan on using the gussets.

4 of the 60mm bolts : 3 on the exhaust side/top 1 under the starter motor ( labeled as bolt No. 1)
2 starter motor bolts : not sure if the bolts taken off an automatic will work

as far as the other bolts, i'm not sure if using shorter bolts will be okay.

Right now i've got 9 bolts for the manual transmission
2 long bolts with a washer
5 med length (i'm guessing they're the 60mm's) they also have washers
2 short ones with 2 washers and a nut

then all of the automatic bolts left over.
