my car currently sits in a shop withv the tranny out and I had the common shift tower bolt problem, but they cannot find the bolt inside the transmission! They say they fished for it, had it upside down/on the side, shook it, everything, and it wont even make any noises and that "theres no bolt in here"

Where can this be? Im going there in about 15 minutes and need some insight! the car drove there and felt fine but had a really annoying sound like the bolt was stuck in the gears or hitting them anyways, and got louder the faster i went, and got quiet as i braked..and it was only from going from 1st into 2nd and up, it didnt really happen in first gear..my entire bolt fell out also not just the head getting sheared off, so it has to be in there somewhere correct?? where can it be hidning!!
