the bottom of the motor where it meets the tranny bell housing? when removed it lets you peer into the tranny case and see the flywheel. if this here just to keep dirt and crap out or what? mine has been missing for as long as i can remember and i finally now have time to try to research if its worth replacing or not, i found what i think the part number is on courtesy nissans sight but need to confirm before purchase.

It enables wedging a tool beetween the flywheel teeth to keep the crank immobilized when you need to service other parts, like removing the crank bolt.

 

then im assuming it should be replaced and not open to the outside elements. also the link i put in above to courtesy that is the link to the proper cover, correct? i want to order one but also want to make sure its the right one.

 

I cant see the pic in the link

 

umm click the link and then the part description and it'll bring up the nisean illustration that resembles FAST

 

From the schematic, what is the part number you are refering to ?
None of the parts look like what I am thinking about, the bell housing is not shown.

 

sorry im taking so long to respond.... but i think its part number 11251n on the schematic

 

No that does not look like what I had in mind

 

well even under the description it sounds like its the right one, and even the location in the schematic seems to match...
