I've got the same one, however mine has a piece of metal covering it on the outside.

Re: Mysterious hole behind the pedals

The hole is for a clutch rod on a stick shift truck. There was a boot around the rod that seals the rod to the firewall. Automatics have the hole but the hole is covered with a delete plug or plate.
