How do you keep dust and water out of the clutch and throw out bearing?

I would not put it together w/o one. I have seen people mess alot of stuff up that did not use one.

just use the inspection cover at the bottom. My car has never had the full plate since I've owned it (6 years now) and I've only put one clutch in it until I swapped to the TKO last fall

My 2 cents.
Yes you can run without one. I don't recommend it. Yes you can have issues with some starters.

As far as dust/water/etc staying out. How would block plate effect that. It is completely open at that bottom. Really won't have an effect. The dust cover at the bottom minimizes how much stuff comes into the bellhousing but is far from keeping everything out.

all the t-5s i have seen have a full plate no dust cover section. the (dust cover) part was for removing auto converter bolts. unless i am wrong

Just do it correct if possible. I personally would think without it.would be like the input shaft being longer. Kinda like bolting a fox bell on a sn95 tranny. Not sure how much but it would be some. Or how close it would put the tapered shoulder of shaft to pilot bearing. Lol just an observation.

yep. you guys are right. I got confusedto many hrs behind the desk aa!don't feel bad we would expect you to correct us. If we might or even could screw up that bad. Lmao!big blocks forever! Yeeha!

Besides what has already been said,I think it would cause too much pressure to the TO bearing and pressure plate as well.

Of course the last time I fooled with a 5 speed tranny was in 2007. I hope that it is longer before I do again but the way the 3650 sounds in my wife's car, I will probably be pulling one this year to build
