[RESOLVED] bell housing flywheel cover bolts

[DeNoZZo]

I need to know what bolts to get for the cover that caps off the gap between the engine and transmission.

Here is the part i'm talking about

Can anyone tell me what size bolts I need to get?

M6x10 for the side mounts up on the block, then M8x1.25 for the tranny mount.

On a side note I just picked up a new flywheel inspection cover myself, and it makes a huge difference in appearance under the car. Although I don't even have one on my Elantra. They are cheap as well, which makes it even better.

So I have to take the t case/and or slave cylinder out to get it on, or am I just doing something wrong?

 

[absolute_DSM]

Screw appearance, it keeps things out of your flywheel area.

Just loosen the T case bolts and move it, and move the slave cylinder out of the way and youll be good.

Is EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - OEM Bell Housing Flywheel Cover : Mitsubishi Eclipse 90-92 (6 Bolt) that needed?

I dont have one on my 91 and I want to know if its something that you have to have on there. Im dropping the trans this weekend and I need to know.

It's a good idea to have one to keep things from getting where they don't belong. I guess I wouldn't worry about it if I didn't have one; after all, I don't have a timing cover other than the one over the cam gears.

I would get one as soon as possible. I ran mine without it for a little while and it wasn't until I went to the car wash and got the undercarriage cleaned that I regretted it. Water+clutch doesn't make out to well. And being from Iowa, I know that car will see some pretty deep rain water so I would recommend to keep the debris and fluids out. There is a reason Mitsubishi put it there ;-)

Thats what I figured... This car saw snow once and doesnt see rain. its a garage queen...

Takes too long to clean her up. I guess I should buy it with a 710 cap since mine leaks like a mofo.

I just realized I don't have one of these. Just to double check, I have a 95 GSX with a 6 bolt swap. I still use the "7bolt" plate because it mounts to the tranny, correct? IE part number - MD191171
