My car listed above 6 speed is missing a cover plate that’s located just underneath the starter and I want to know where I could buy it and what the name of the part is. I have a picture of your guy’s video of a clutch replacement on the exact model of my car.

That is called a CV joint deflection shield which you can only get from the dealer. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
