No tranny cover plate (1 Viewer)

Crawled under the fzj80 today and noticed my bell housing inspection cover was gone. It was there when I did the phh 2 weeks or so ago. I'm guessing I left it on the mountain somewhere.

I already ordered a new one. My question is should I do some kind of rust prevention treatment in there? Its rained the last couple of days and I'm sure it got wet.

Don't worry Dave you will be ok.

I dont think the bell housing is water right anyway

Cool thanks mud!

I'll give you $5K for it and come pick it up so you don't have to look at it anymore.......

No bolts, has a few tabs, just snaps in

Yup. That's where I got mine. I didn't want to pay $7 s/,h for a $5 dollar part so I got a bunch of other stuff too.

I thought I was the only one who used that rationalization.

No, I get suckered into that "logic" too. LOL

I thought about it when I was ordering, but the list of stuff I need is long and I'm not ready for that kinda hit to the CC at the moment

That explains why so many of them disappear.

The design is a bit odd, IMHO. Even the inner fender skirts have little clips to hold them in. I think Mr. T could have come up with a better fastener than hope.

I just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago. Honestly, you probably need to do an engine, tranny, and axle rebuild. I mean, while you're in there...

 

[davidp14]

I Probably should have ordered 2

Finally, I can get some sleep...

Its not strictly necessary. I knew my cruiser had one so i my old E-class in the shop once and noticed the inspection port was bare. i told the mechanic i needed to order up a cover and he said there wasnt one
