LS-3 Check this while you change your oil!
I did my first oil change yesterday and I noticed when I removed the oil filter there is a piece of hard plastic that covers a hole to the transmission and the bolt to it was so lose that I bet in a few miles I would have lost the plastic cover and bolt so just a heads up to check this.

Just did oil and filter change last week but didn't notice anything.
Can you post a pic, not exactly sure where to look? |

I could be wrong, but from the extreme close up that plastic piece appears to be a dust cover for the flywheel and transmission bellhouse. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

+1 for the inspection/dust cover to clutch. Good find.

I ran my car for 600 miles before I found this.........and mine didn't even have a bolt in it. Amazed that it didn't fall off somewhere.

Ouch that's a bummer. Did you get a new bolt for it?
