    There is an oval shaped hole on the upper driver side of the 6 speed trans of my truck. I think it is for inspection of the flywheel/ pressure plate. It looks like there would have been a rubber cover there at some point, but I don't have anything there now.

    A few questions:

    Was there ever a cover there? What would you call it? What's the part number? Is it really necessary- seems like having one would quiet a little of the noise from there, but mostly I am concerned about salt/ water/ dirt that enters during the midwest winter.

    Thanks! Google image for attention- something like this (though this is not a 2nd gen tacoma to my knowledge):

    Edit: Found a better picture of the actual opening- hopefully clutch masters doesnt mine loaning me their picture...

    I'm a first gen, on mine there is a boot there. I wouldn't want that open. I'd check one of the online Toyota parts dealers, you'll be able to get a part number from that.

    The picture in first post is a google image, not even sure if it's a tacoma. The link in the first post is to picture from the clutch master hydraulic internal slave upgrade for the squeaky TOB.

    Not sure what you are showing here- I looked up those part numbers. The one on the bottom (31101-35010) is a metal cover. The 90019-a0165 is a bolt and washer. I still don't see anything pictured or with a part number that matches the rubber cover for the RA60F
