The bell housing is part of the transmission system on a gasoline(also known as petrol) or diesel powered vehicle. It is bolted to the engine block and contains the flywheel, the torque converter or clutch of the transmission. The starter motor is usually mounted here engaging with a ring gear on the flywheel. On the opposite end to the engine is usually bolted the gearbox.
