Default Inspection hole on bell-housing

2008 GT 4.6 Vert manual

When I was under the car a few weeks ago installing the MGW shifter I noticed there was an inspection hole to view inside the clutch area. Anyway it didn't have a rubber grommet or anything covering that inspection hole.

Should that be covered?

I know an automatic would have a grommet, but is a manual susposed to have it covered as well? Or is it left open on a manual for clutch dust to escape or something?

If it should have a grommet or something could someone give me a part# I can order as a replacement?

Not sure if this is the right trans pic or not, but You can see the small square hole in the bottom of the second image and mine looks just like that hole.

My 5 speed has that hole.. Not sure on the auto, but if that's the auto tranny used in the 4.6 it looks like it's factory.

It is a manual and I know the hole is factory. I just want to know if it should have a cover covering it or grommet plugging it up. Right now it's open with no cover.

Can someone with 04-08 manual tr-3650 look at theirs and see if it is open or covered?

no grommet. That's where I stick my finger to make sure my slave isn't leaking.
