engine block/tranny flange

Post by SimplyPV »

hey all... im gathering the funds and parts needed in order to start work on my roza sometime over the next few weeks. i was curious, apparently sometime during roza's transit back to my home state, it lost the flange between the block and transmission. do i need it when i install the new transmission? i happen to have both pieces of the flange off of the parts truck i have sittin around. what purpose do they serve?

what exactly is the flange?
i noticed the other day that there is no cover over the bottom part of my flywheel, ie between the sump and the transmission case.

the lower plate is just a inspection/dust cover plate. no biggy but worth having it on there to stop contamination of the clutch assy. almost every vehicle has one of these.
