Default missing nuts/bolts?

I just discovered these "empty" holes for my car...could someone please tell me what size the nut/bolt goes in here if any? This is where the engine connects to the tranny..sorry dont know what its called..[sm=oopssign.gif]

If someone has a picture to go along that would be great!

Thanks

Straying from the topic a bit but i was going to buy a new torque wrench and i wanted to know if one that ranges from 50 to 250 Lb ft would be sufficient for the working on the car?

dont those bolts just hold the cover on????

and yeah a 250ftlb wrench is plenty good enough!! about the only thing you'd tighten that much is a pinion nut

There should be 4 total bolts for that cover if it's an auto...and it can fall out (the manual tranny version won't fall out).

50-250 is a good range for a torque wrench for automotive use. Just remember it isn't as good to use near 50 or near 250 as it won't be as accurate.
