that is the bellhousing. the bell shaped flywheel cover that the trans mounts to has been called the bellhousing since about 1915. and we are all car guys, so it can get a lil confusing.

Keep an eye out on the swap shop, I found some for as little as $100 before I decided to repair my own.

They're hex, not torx. I dont recall the size, but big. Like 1/2, 9/16, something like that.
