In no particular order, and off the top of my head...
* The hidden clutch linkage set screw, that allows everything to fall apart when it backs out, and that was the subject of this thread:
Ehhrggg, Standed by a Set-Screw
* The shifter handle bolts that were the subject of this thread
* The steering rack bushing bolts
* Motor mount bolts and transmission mount bolts
* Seat bolts
* And then a bunch of the miscellaneous button head cap screws
The only one that required a tow home was the clutch set screw, which was only a two minute repair once I had her up in the air. (I've since modified that part so it can't do it again) The transmission shifter bolts
almost required a tow home when one fell out, but I was able to limp her home in second gear. But with any of these cars you just need to periodically check every bolt from nose to toes.
