That's a drain plug. It drains the filter housing. There is a crush-washer under the head of the plug.
The factory tech manual identifies it as an "oil gallery plug" and the torque table lists a 10mm plug, but in actuality the plug in the picture is 12mm. To be safe, I wouldn't exceed 13 foot-lbs.
Note that the all-inclusive Clymer manual has the same error regarding plug size.
Nice polish on that clutch cover.
