It is more than a cover. It is a tin plate that gets put between the block and the bell housing.

Very important!! Make sure that what you have is for a gas engine because a diesel has a different hole and dowel pattern. The diesel housing is identical except for the way it is drilled. It would just s*ck to get it in and find out it isn't right.

It is all one piece on my truck. When I inspect my clutch, I have to take out the 2 bolts and bend the plate down to see in there.

Every manual trans 460 setup I have seen has a one piece plate. Is your 2 piece one perhaps from an auto?

Mine has to go on before the flywheel is installed.
