This automatic inspection plate installs on the front of the transmission bellhousing on compatible 1969-1972 Mercury Cougar applications equipped with a 302 or 351W V8 and FMX automatic transmission. When removed, it provides access to the torque converter for service; when installed, it covers the opening to help keep debris out of the bellhousing area.
A worn, damaged, missing, bent, rusted, cracked, or incorrect inspection plate can leave the transmission bellhousing exposed and make torque converter service coverage incomplete.
