"57 Rocket 88 How is the name of the part?

hello,

on my '57 Rocket 88 I do not have coverage TRANSMISSION FRONT DRIVE TORUS which is bolted to the engine and bell housing. How is the name of the part? Fits a different cover. If yes, which year

Thank´s

Bernhard

From what I can understand you are looking for the name of that cover? If so it is called the Flywheel Inspection Cover, Some call it the transmission inspection cover.

It is also called a transmission dust cover or flywheel dust cover. Also this is a one year part meaning it only fits from a 1957 olds

One year part? I know this cover will fit and swap over to 1957 1958 1959 and 1960 Oldsmobiles, but not too sure if automatic and standard transmission covers are the same

you're probably right, I go off of this most of the time but I have seen it be wrong with some parts that you could tweek to make them work
