Alright I had my car up on the lift at school today to change the oil and I noticed under my tranny, for starting the car on the clutch area, not 100% what the techinical stuff is, but I think if you know your stuff you can understand what I'm saying. You can see a gear and what looks like the flywheel which is exposed, which to me doesn't seem right. Is there supposed to be some sort of cover here that my car doesn't have or broke off? There doesn't seem to be a spot where it would have bolted on but then again I'm not sure. Thanks.

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about.

 

its called a dust cover, yeah its missing, is it important-no

 

Ok good, just as long as the risk of having say a rock fly in there and f'ing everything up isn't bad... then again it'll give me a reason to do my b16 swap sooner
