I think we're both right. Part of the "hole" is in the bellhousing, but part is inthe AT engine case, too. It has to be there, as Leon described, in order to get to the heads of the bolts that connect the AT drive plate to the torque converter.
Aha. THAT explains why it was such a PITA (!!!) that took me all day, *and* why I had to grind and bend the wrench. At the time, I was cursing the apparent need for a specialized tool. =)
Look at the flange area at the bottom and just to the left (left is left) of the parting line. There should be a difference there. If the flywheel/drive plate isstill installed it will be somewhat hard to see.
That's the area I looked at, and again I didn't see a difference. The flywheel is off (I swapped the engine into a MT car, then "borrowed" the flywheel after swapping it out again), so there's nothing in the way. Curiouser and curiouser. Maybe when I get it up on the stand in a few months for a teardown/rebuild I'll find it.
