What is the little plastic piece that bolts to the engine and covers the exposed flywheel on either side of the bellhousing? Is it specific to the bellhousing or the engine?

Some pieces (early) were metal. I have no idea what the part is called.

I've always called it a flywheel cover. The one I have is from a '90 Sub and is metal.

Not sure of the name either, Just a dust shield, but I think they are specific to ths transmission. Like Snoots says, some were metal.
