Just wondering what this rubber part is between my oil pan and transmission
Hummer H3For the Hummer driver who wants the rugged look and off road capabilities of the Hummer, but in a smaller size and with a more fuel economy friendly engine.
Just wondering what this rubber part is between my oil pan and transmission
I was changing the front diff fluid today and noticed this rubber part looked a little squished. Didn’t know what it’s purpose was or if I can just leave it alone.
I don’t know the official name, but it’s simply a dust cover/inspection cover that leads to the flex plate/torque converter area.
You could try to reseat it so it doesn’t look quite as squished and is a little more even, but I wouldn’t think there is a huge problem with the way it looks right now.
The flywheel access plug on a Hummer H3 (used for accessing torque converter bolts) is a long, rectangular plug located at the bottom of the transmission bell housing. Removing this plug allows access to the bolts connecting the torque converter to the flexplate/flywheel.
