It's a debris cover for the bellbousing. Automatic vehicles have a two piece plate; the bottom is easily removable to get to the torque converter bolts. Manual cars have a single piece since there is nothing needed to access. On both cars, there should be two bolts holding the cover against the bottom of the bell. It being bent like that can let debris in and potentially cause a problem.

 

Find some appropriate hardware and fix the bottom of the plate to the bell. There's bare holes that pass through the mouth of the bell. It should flatten out enough.

Get a can a good stuff insulation foam, spray that hole closed. Done. And sign it

 

Also. You may find sheared bolts if that plate was snagged while reversing. If so, you will need an easy out and some luck. That plate in your way won't help any. I'd clamp it down to the bell while working.

There aren't threaded holes on the bottom of the bell. Just two bare holes that go through.
