Flywheel dust cover?
Did our cars with the 700R4 have one? Mine DOESN'T. Is this not good?

Mine was also made of metal..
John, I'd imagine the chances of dirt & crap getting into those seals (trans pump seal and rear engine seal) is increased without the cover. I'm sure a junkyard would charge you $5 for one...

No, but I got one from summit for the same cost, and it didnt fit well at all. I think I ended up only using half the bolts.

I would be ok with useing only half the bolts, I just couldn't fit it around the starter moter to get the top bolts started.
