flywheel Problem whie checking around
out so I was looking at the lines for my breaks and just following the lines I took a look at my flywheel since I knew I was having problems with that. While I was looking at the houseing for the flywheel I noticed I could strait out see my flywheel. There is no plate on the housing of the flywheel, I see the screw holes but no screws or "hiding plate" Is there suppose to be something there to inclose the flywheel? and there is oil over everything. My machanic is gunna have a mouth full when I get the car there monday !!!

Wow.... I am not sure what is more shocking, the lack of an inspection shield or your spelling, grammar and sentence structure.
There is supposed to be a large tin shield over the bottom of the bell housing. This shield is designed to keep debris and moisture from getting into the clutch area.
Without it, bad things can happen.
If your mechanic neglected to install that part, you need to a) ream him out and b) fire his ***.

Before he worked on it no one else as touched it. So the shield should have been on there from it being built in the factory right? I mean, can I be pissed when I talk to him?
