i'd measurethe diameter of the hole and go to lowes or ace hardware boat supply stores too and look for the right size hole plug as the cheap way to close it up//dont ferget to bring a tape measure with you

If you had an auto trans it would have a metal plate over that hole

Well I was trying to post a picture for you to see how the factory covered it but I can't post a pic. Not sure if the site has something going on or not.
