Can I remove this without pulling the tranny again? I am assuming it requires removing the bolts and the starter (being it hooks around the starter). I just replaced my clutch fork and when I put it all back together, I get a tinny rattle above 2500 RPM. It sounds like the cover , and I figure I'll start there being I only went as far as the bellhousing and there was no noise before.

I don't have a shop manual for an 88 and SEARCH was no help.

BTW, I changed the ATF in the T5 and she is smooth shifting.

There are just 4 10mm-headed bolts holding it on; no need to remove the starter.

 

...but there's a round cutout that the starter pokes through. If I only remove the four bolts, it will still be attached and pivot on the starter, correct?

 

Yes. Starter will need to come out to remove insp. plate.
