Crazy??

This is driving me crazy!

I'm trying to find the clutch inspection plate. I have the first gen motor. I would think it would be on the bottom of the bell housing but I don't see one. Could someone please post a pic and tell me where it is.

Thanks!

Here are pics

I took the inspection plate off the top and here are pics but I don't see how to inspect the clutch thickness remaining from here.

There is also an inspection plate near the exhaust manifold. Not sure it gives enough access to see the disc.

Can't see the disk without taking the transmission off.

But pulling the trans on these cars is super easy.



Opps you don't have this installed in an RX7.... What transmission did you use?

Thanks

Darn. I was hoping for something easier but at least I know I'm not going crazy with not being able to figure it out so thanks. Unfortunately my motor and trans are in a Triumph Spitfire and pulling the trans is going to be a chore
