Ok well just had my evo8 come in at 2 this morning(baught on ebay)

On my lunch break i drove home and popped the hood and noticed WTF! there is a hole in the transmission. Its about the size of a half dollar coin an perfectly round.

The hole is definitly factory made and it just looks like something popped out of it.

I will post some pics when i get off as its really hard explain the location, but if anyone has a idea of what it could be your input is very well apreciated



Thanks

There is supposed to be a rubber plug in there.

 

is it underneath or on top?....could be hole for freeze plug or for the rubber grommet...shoulda snapped a camera pic so we can let u know!!...

i was afraid when i saw title but its just a hole in your bell housing!!

 

Its on top, yeah i know i shoulda taken a pic but i had 2 hit the road asap 2 get bak before my break ended.

I will definitly take a pic in about 2 hours when i get home.

Could somone take a pic of where this "rubber plug" should be?

 

its a breather hole, theres supposed to be a rubber gromet. my rebuilt tranny came the same way. you can get the part chap at the dealer.

 

subieevoguy...i have a feeling we will be seeing alot of you!!! welcome!!

 

At first glance I saw the keywords ebay, hole, transmission. That was scary at first.

 

hehe you definitly will, and thanks

Im not "mechanically sound" so u will see alot from me

 

Ahhhhh!!!!!! My car is missing the passenger rear floor mat! What do I do!?!?!?!

And yes, a rubber stopper goes in that port hole. I'm sure you can pick one up at the dealer. There's one on the bottom of the tranny too so check to see if that one's missing too.

 

My thoughts exactly.

Which red hole is it in the picture below? top or bottom.



Thanks to evo moto for the pic and my sweet editing

 

^^ i believe it the top red one

 

bully

 

It likely had a hydraulic TOB clutch installed at some point then, becuase most of those run the hose out that hole.

 

You're fine. I would get the rubber piece anyway though. Keep water, dust, etc. out.

Congrats on your new ride

 

It probably had the clutch replaced, and who ever did it just didn't put it back
