Default Re: Bell Housing

The title of this thread is "Bell Housing"

However, most or all of the discussion (and pictures) is concerning the "Flywheel Housing"

Is there an issue?

Per Google:
"Bell housing or bellhousing is a colloquial/slang term for the portion of the transmission that covers the flywheel and the clutch or torque converter of the transmission on vehicles powered by internal combustion engines"

I think so. Sort of like dash and instrument panel, two entirely
different parts on a model A.
