Drive plate to torque converter-Why the green bolt? (1 Viewer)

Title pretty well says it all. I can see that one bolt head is green, but cannot see what is different about it or the assembly.

I believe it’s to keep track of the bolts, if you start with the green one on reassembly, than as you install when you come around to the green one you know you are done.

The green one has a tapered shoulder that locates the drive plate to the torque convertor. If you look just below the washer and above the threads on the green one vs one of the black ones you'll see this difference. That's why the FSM tells you to start with that particular bolt.

An easy straightforward logical answer that makes sense. Thanks. I kept looking for matching Green dots on drive plate or somewhere, never thought about examining the bolt.
