If you mean the cover just behind the gear lever above the prop then it's just a thin core plug like part. It may still be possible to get one
from Fords or Burtons? A plastic disc cut to fit and held in with a bit of Areldite ,silicon etc would do the job just a well

its not needed as that is where your gearlever extension goes through, nothing will fall out

As above - it's just something to keep the dirt out of the mechanism at the bottom of the gearstick. I'd cut a bit of aluminium to fit,
then stick it in with silicone (don't use epoxy, as you may want to get it out again).

no need to "pack" with grease, i have just made sure the interlocking parts of the linkage are well greased.
