stupid question, and I did try searching.
« on: February 17, 2011, 04:12:23 PM »
What's that thin plate that goes between the bellhousing and the engine block. Thus far today it's been called a clutch cover plate, engine plate, rear plate, dust plate, and clutch plate. Tried googling it and kept getting the same results.

so does it have a specific name, or is it just some random plate. I'm asking cause ing need to get one from a junk yard or something.

On my 73 chev pickup, it was called the inspection cover.
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

It seems as though transmission dust shield or dust cover, inspection plate, flex plate dust shield/cover, flywheel dust shield/cover are the most common names.
