- The inspection port in the AT bell housing, letting you see the flywheel teeth, is completely open. Just like mine. I have never found a conclusive answer to whether our cars need a covering/plug there. Never been able to find a part number, etc.
I had one of those access cover missing as well - not sure when it went missing (I'm the original owner). I went and did some digging and all I was able to find was the cover for the oil drain - Part# 51718268897. Turns out the cover will fit both access holes.
