Need the part number for the clutch inspection cover/plate located on the top of the bell housing, between the back of engine and the firewall. The idiot Mazda mechanic did not replace it when he installed my clutch, lost it and can't find the number to order a new one. I do not see any schematic in my factory repair maual which shows it. Would appreciate any help. Please- no flames about taking the car to the dealer. I thought they would be able to handle a simple clutch replacement. Guess not.

Which one?

Toadman- Looks like 16-142. Can't tell where on the diagram that part is supposed to go, but it is the shape of the one I need. The other two plates are what are described as service ports "A" and "B". Thanks.

The two I put the part numbers on are "inspection plate covers". You sure it's right on the bottom?

Toadman- I couldn't tell exactly where on the diagram the outline drawing of the part was supposed to go. The plate I am looking for goes on the top of the bell housing. It is about one inch wide by about six inches long and covers the inspection opening where you could look to check for thickness of your clutch disc to check for wear. It is curved slightly to fit the opening. The only part on the drawing which was that approximate shape was 16-142. My diagram has that part called a "dust cover" and shows it at the lower part of the bell housing. The other two plates are called "service hole A cover" and "service hole B cover". I can't find anything where the plate is shown on the top of the bell housing. Without it in place, I can look right in and see the pressure plate, and the opening allows the clutch smell to come out and get sucked into the air intake for the heater, which is only 6 inches away.
