Default Missing part??

I was under my car yesterday and just noticed the flywheel is exposed. Shouldn't there be a cover over it on the bottom, or is this the way it came?? If it needs one, who would sell them?? Doesn't sound like a parts house part. It's a '77 Vette, stock 350, auto.
Thanks,
KC

Default Inspection/Dust cover

You should have an inspection/dust cover that protects your flywheel & Torque converter from debris and dirt ..... things cost around $20 either painted sheetmetal or chromed ones, or go to a junk yard and pick one up for $5 or less!

Just make sure it is for your TH350 (not 2004r or 700 tranny's)

Thanks for this post. When I bought my 77, I could see the flywheel also. Now I know there is something missing.
