I don't believe these were on manual shift cars. They are commonly referred to as "starter shields" but I think their actual intention was to protect the transmission cooler lines.

The reference in the parts book to 340 and all except 340 should most likely be 340 with fast ratio.

I have an earlier built 340 automatic car without the fast ratio box and it has the plastic shield like most other E-bodies.


Thanks. Great info.
