This is where the upper oil pan meets the transmission. This is just opposite to the starter on the other side. Is this supposed to be open like this or is there supposed to be a cover? The flywheel is visible inside.

there is a cover that goes there

 

Am I going to have to pull the trans to put this in?

JET

 

Nope. Very simple. Two bolts.

 

no it is installed from the front side

 

Thanks Gus....

Correct me if I'm wrong but from looking at the service manual it looks like the cover is threaded and the bolts holding it on come in from behind and hold the trans bell housing on as well.

JET

 

You are correct I believe.

 

Don't hold me to it, it has been a while, but I thought that plate was held in place by tranny bolts

 

I believe you're right.

 

Is that the location for the starter on right-hand drive versions of this car?

 

Larry,

good thing you caught this! You wouldn't want any large debris, pebbles, etc to find its way in there.

 

The cover has the threaded part built into it. You do not need to remove the tranny. Just take the bolts out and replace them with the correct ones that go through the cover.

edit. I just threw that stuff out a week or two ago.

sorry, call PF or japtrix and see if they have any extras. If not just order some from the dealership. But, you def. need that on there. I wouldn't drive around w/o it. If you have to I'd @ least put some tape or something in there for temp. purposes only.

 

Hey Larry, I am sending you a new inspection cover and bolts today. This part was not with the stuff that you brought us, when your car came from PF. I completely forgot to order it for you, and overlooked it before you drove off.

Thanks for pointing it out.

 

NICE!

 

Thanks Sharif.... Just bill my CC.
