My M817 is leaking oil out of the top of the transmission! Pretty sure its coming from the bolt that screws in horizontal under the shifter boot as it was screwed out about 1/4". What is this bolt?

The rear bolt, as DH pointed out, secures the shift lever into the shifter housing. Tighten that one down because you don't want that lever coming out whilst you're driving:shock::doh:aua

The nut and washer on the right side secure the bolt holding the first/reverse shifting finger in place.

Yeah it was #11 that was backed out. Hoping that's where the oil is coming out of. Its looks like its there or around shift boot. Thanks for the help. Couldn't find that in the TM.
