Am I missing a bolt here? '87 V6 Auto Trans (Page 1/1)

I was looking around my engine bay, and noticed a threaded hole in the top of my transmission with no bolt.
I kindof think it's always been like that.
Should there be a bolt here? Should it be holding something down?

Thanks,
Happy Thanksgiving

Mine is also like that. Something probably goes there on another application

Also: your lower intake is blue?

Thanks for the quick replies.
I'm glad to know mine isn't the only one with the missing bolt.
I agree though, it's all pretty grimey, maybe someday I'll try and clean it up a bit.

Regarding the blue, yes, it's the engine itself that's blue. I wonder if it came blue from the factory, or if it was done by a previous owner, I'll likely never know.

Have a great weekend

This engine setup doesn't use that hole.

Trans and Engine has several bolt holes that use or ignore depending on Model Year and more.
