I got to looking around the undercarriage this weekend while I had the car and jack stands (installing new grills) and noticed this hole. Being admittedly unfamiliar with the underside of my car (it was my first time under there) I assumed it was an inspection hole/port of some sort. Am I anywhere near right? Should it have some sort of plug or cover over it? The first pic should give a little context as to where on the vehicle it is (driver's side looking towards the front) and the others are a bit closer up. And yes I know it's dirty. It rained alot this week and lot of mist was being kicked by by all the cars on the road. It's much cleaner now.

That is the clutch inspection hole. It should have a plug to help keep the clutch fork amongst other things protected for debris and moisture.

Drat, I'm going to have to quit my job in order to have time to catch all of these things...LOL



Last time Pete checked there were none left in stock because I had warned everyone that these fall out and suddenly everyone examined and found out that they were, in fact, missing...



Don't forget to shoot some good lube in there to keep the cluch fork well lubricated...



Regards,



Jay

Will do! In the mean time, should I at least cover it with something like, God forbid I even mention it, duct tape?

Use the cap off of a quart of Mobil One. It just so happens to be a snug fit and will keep the dirt and water out. If you use some silicone around the outside of it, it won't fall out again.

Wurth makes a good prodduct called HHS 2000. It is a spray lubricant that comes out as a penetrating lube then sets up as a high temp/pressure grease. Its great for other hard to get to spots as well.
