So what would bring this about? I parted the trans from the motor yesterday, and what do you know, there's a roughly (and I mean roughly) rectangular hole in the bell housing covered by a thin piece

The hole sounds like someone wanted to see what is going on in there. The cracks are from the clutch slipping. You need to have them ground off (as opposed to having the flywheel turned) If they are

Marc, Your clutch is shot, and you need a new one. Pressure plate too probably. The cracks in the flywheel come from heat and wear. They might be able to surface the flywheel to get rid of them. The

Very strange!!!!!!! I never saw a clutch disc quite like that in any engine in any car I ever owned. I have no idea why the PO did that to the tranny casing other than that he had a problem at some t

The flywheel cracking is not the worst I've seen, definitely a resurface job, though - and with all due respect to Sid in Jacksonville, the possibility of a flywheel (a solid disc of steel!) fragment

Why would the "inspection window" be a problem? Seems like a nice way to check so that an "exploding clutch" is avoided. Linda

Well, for one thing it was done in a sloppy and un-workmanlike manner - holes drilled roughly around the perimeter of the opening and the middle hacked out with the edge left rough. That kind of slop

Thanks to all who responded. I have a new clutch kit from CDM waiting to go into the car, it's a 1600 one however, because of hip and knee problems. The clutch whose remains are pictured is the one t

Not so much the fact of the inspection window, but that it was such a "haybag" job (as a former co-worker used to say). I think I'll be making a new cover and fastening it with 4 tapped machine screw

Gary, I would have to disagree with you here, Usually the disc lets go but I have seen cars literally cut in half from a flywheel explosion. That is part of the reason for scatter shields in drag rac

I remember one garage, where I delivered auto parts, with a roadster up on the lift. They could not get the newly installed clutch to disengage. Their "attempted fix" was to DRILL 2" diameter holes i

Well, I stand corrected - I guess - I would never have figured the actual flywheel for letting go. The clutch incidents I've seen or heard of (among back road drag racers , back in my high school day

When a flywheel lets go, it is pretty horriffic. In normal driving, it won't happen unless there is a defect and you are winding it up a bit. If used hard (ie. racing) the situation changes. If you c

Having read many of the responses I have a different view, IMHO this hole was cut to cure some problem. I have seen this before. The last time I saw someone this type of a hole was because he didn't
