I Feel like there is something missing like a mount or bracket or some kind of support that supposed to be here that is not and caused my whole transmission to to twist clockwise while driving. there are threads but no bolts or anything. I cannot seem to find a picture or information on it anywhere after looking continuously for a month now. it is a t5 transmission and the picture is the front left hand side of the bell housing. I had some "mechanic" replace the motor and I am pretty sure he forgot some important that caused my car to be how it is now. I should have just done it myself but did not have the means at the time.

That transmission mounts in a twisted position. It did not twist that way.
As for the empty holes, there should be a long mount that goes to the side of the block. It helps strengthen the assembly.
