You can order them from Summit, Jegs, etc. Or call up the parts guy at your local dealership and he can look it up.

I don't think it matters. My shortblock or tranny didn't come with either. I hammered both into the block and didn't have any issues. Make sure you put some anti seize on them. Will make it a lot easier whenever you have to replace your clutch.

Yes this is bad. Alignment issues will cause major transmission problems(and repairs)
