Is this G50 missing something?

Doesn't seem like Porsche would leave these gaping holes in the bellhousing. There are 3 - one up by the clutch slave cylinder, and 2 more along the driver's side. Bentley sheds no light on the issue.

Are there some cover plates missing? Or is this just the way those crafty Germans intended?



Also, to someone who used to own a bug, that loose nut at the bottom looks suspiciously like one of the 4 that hold the engine to the transmission. Luckily my car was professionally serviced by a reputable shop in its prior life.

Hole #1 is at the slave cyl, If I remember wright that has a cover. Holes #2&3 are correct. Tighten up the loose nut.

Thanks! Will order, along with a new CHT sensor (I still appear to have the single wire type - why anyone would replace the clutch and not do this update at the time is beyond me ...)

Yep. #1 is the hole you look thru to make sure the slave pushrod is contacting the release fork in the right location. Never understood why they made the hole so big.

#2 is the hole you must have to R&R the release fork cross shaft.

#3 is a inspection hole for what reason I dunno. Lets you see if your clutch bolts are coming loose?

Heck yeah that loose nut is for connecting the trans to the engine! Yikes.

There's a lot of dampness around the bellhousing. I'd check the breather hose atop the engine- it's probably as hard as a rock and doesn't seal anymore. Also could have a leak at the other usual suspects- thermostat and oil pressure idiot light switch.
