I may have to order that kit that runkster mentioned. I put that metal plate in the gap behind the belt cover/sheer bolt holder, but I don't have that big, flat, rubber piece. I'm guessing that fits on the inside top of the transmission housing to prevent water from dripping on to the friction disc?
The rubber is for that yes. I just bought the machine and though mine came with the engine plate, it doesn't have the rubber piece under the engine mounting plate. Been chasing leaking water for a few weeks now. Thought I had it but found the black push clip thing under the engine leaking still so I just took it right out and siliconed the hole. Hopefully I am done...
