    Question What is this metal piece for?

    While I did an oil change on my car, I noticed that metal piece that looks like a bracket. Just wondering what that is and what its purpose is. Thanks!

    Looks like a reinforcement bracket to spread some load from the bottom of the transaxle bell housing to the engine block.

    If you want to be confused, try to figure out how that thing goes back on when you have one in your hand.
    Simplify and add lightness.

    Thank you

    I appreciate the response. I'm just learning more about the Mirage as I go along.
