Cover between engine and transmission
My 5 speed is now bolted to the engine, and I have no cover plate to cover that gaping hole at the bottom. I could not find any pictures showing a cover on the svx at subaruparts.com, and I don't know if the one that fits the car my transmission is out of (2006 impreza 2.5i) will fit if I order it. Does the svx even have such a plate? I see holes so I assume there was one at some time. What is everybody else using on their 5mt swaps?
On a related issue, there were also no dowels in the block on the transmission mounting surface. If there are supposed to be alignment dowels am I at risk shearing the 4 transmission bolts without them?
