Default Lost a part during clutch install....can't find it online.

Can't even find a picture of it. I've always called them inspection plates but apparently nissan doesn't and no one else does either.

In case you don't know it by that name its the little metal plate that attaches to the underside of the engine accross from the transmission so that you can pull it off and look at the flywheel without dropping the tranny.

There are two of them. One in the center / bottom and one towards the driver side. Well the bottom one has come up missing and I have no idea how. I had to postpone finishing up the install because I wasn't able to get done before I had to leave for a three day drill so everything that wasn't put back on, sat out. However, it was all in a magnetic tray, I have literally no idea how this happened, but I need to source another one ASAP.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can't find it because 350's don't have inspection plates on them.... I wish they did, but sadly they don't.

Ok, no. Its not ON the transmission. its on the engine I guess where the transmission bolts on. I can see the flywheel through it. Though its the back of the fly not the friction side, so I don't guess its an inspection plate. Though there was certainly some kind of cover there and now I can't find it. I HAVE the bolts for it. But not the plate.

The plate that covers the hole in the circle. From...the other side. It obviously gets covered from this side by the tranny.

Lol, Of course I would have lost a $30 part just for ***** and giggles. Thank you for the help. 11251NA is the other plate I was talking about. What a terrible and stupid reason to not have my car back on the road.

Put tape over it and don't hit any puddles or drive in any rain. Should be fine till you get the plates.
