I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be a rubber/plastic cover in this hole, right? Since I'm new to 80's, what to make of the discoloration inside? No idea how long it's been open.

Curious, what is the purpose of this inspection cover? I can think of only three things:
-to see if the rear main is leaking
-to wedge a large screwdriver into the flywheel teeth in order to prevent spinning for removal of pulley in front of the engine
-diagnosing torque converter issues?

It allows access to the bolts that secure the torque converter to the flexplate (flywheel sort of)... thus allowing removal of the transmission w/o disengaging the TC from the transmission input shaft.

It's a bit hard to find in the catalog.
The reason for the access is to remove the flexplate bolts.

Rob,
Your's is nice and shiny, but mine has all kinds of corrosion on it. I don't think this should affect any functionality though, correct?
Can you buy a new cover for the trans?
Yep, they tend to succumb to heat and oil leaking on them.....over time.
