Default Bellhousing Question

Hi guys, I'm a newbie here and have what might be a dumb question, but here goes. I was under my car the other day (06 GT, 5 speed) and I noticed that the bellhousing has a square hole in the bottom of it that it large enough to put my finger into. Is this supposed to be there? One side of the hole was a little jagged, but it could just be casting flash. I was concerned since I smoked my clutch a little getting it up on the ramps (boy did that stink) since I was working three pedals with two feet so Iwouldn't overshoot the ramps. I hope I didn't knock out a thin part of the bellhousing somehow. Please let me know. Thanks!

It is supposed to be there - it is inspection hole and lets out all the smoke you just added

Some bell housings (on other cars) cover the, with a plate, this one just leaves it open... I guess Ford assumed the mustang would not be driven much in the rain, through big puddles or slow enough for anything to get in

Never let the smoke out of your car. If you let the smoke out of your car, it will cease to function. Smoke is a very important component of a Mustang. LOL
