I had the same problem(motor plate hole that it is supposed to mount to on the transmission.) I did not use any screws there and have not has a problem. There was also some conical washers missing from my kit and fit-ment could have been better(brake servo was being squished(technical term) against the bulkhead, servo plate needed to be modded for a better fit). I would not recommend this kit for beginners, it could use some instructions...
