I don't have any direct experience with SVXs that have had manual transmissions put in them but I will offer you some general advice. Make sure that the flywheel bolt holes are not egg shaped from the looseness. If they are, you need to replace the flywheel. Also, I would reccomend replacing the bolts themselves since they could be weakend from the looseness. A general rule of thumb: if the bolt has locktite on it when you take it off, put some on when you go back with it. I do not use locktite on flywheel bolts myself but using some isn't going to hurt anything. I always use a bit of Formed In Place Gasket (silicone) on the torque converter to flex plate bolts for a lock tite effect but this obviously doesn't apply to you. Count yourself lucky that the crankshaft wasn't damaged!
