Locate cutout on Nissan Micra auto trans casing?

Hi
Nissan Micra 1989 1.2 automatic.
I need to locate the cut-out on the transmission casing to access the
torque converter-to-flywheel bolts. I have tried first by removing the
starter motor but there is not enough space to get a spanner in there.
Anybody any idea where the cut-out is located and how to remove it?
Haynes' manual is not detailed enough. : (
Thanks for any feedback.

Most Far Eastern imports have a drive plate cover or a flywheel cover
access only from under the car. It's between the oil pan and transmission.

I think I have identified this as hairline joints. There is also a half
inch gap at the edge between the casing and the plate. But I don't want
to do any damage through ignorance. Has anyone actually found and
removed this cover plate?
