cover with small hole
Can someone tell me what the black cover with the small hole thats facing the oil plug thats attached to the I'm assuming the torque converter. It's a little scruffy looking and i want to change it out. Thanks

That is the inspection cover. It protects the rotating flywheel and [either] torque converter or clutch from road debris, dirt, water, etc. The hole in the bottom is a drain outlet should there be some leakage from the components in that area. Leakage is more common with an auto transmission than with a manual trans. Normally, it should NOT have any leakage coming from that hole; although the cover is not well sealed and it could release any water that made its way inside.
