Interesting stuff guys,lol, sounds not much better than the tci sheild I,m trying to install now.I originally bought a tcs sheild and I cut the top of my tunnel off and added a tunnel from a chevy truck to get it to fit. My supplier told me tcs didn,t make them anymore so I bought the tci one and it hit,s the tunnel, bolt holes won,t line up etc. I finally got it all together and trans in the car and forgot to put the shifter linkage on with the spacers after pulling the sheild in place with ratchet straps, soooooooo I undid the one drivers side to get the linkage in place and no way in hell I can pull it all back together. Sounds like the trans is coming out again wether I like it or not. I will except this I guess,lol and try to put it together again with the shifter linkage in place and see how it goes, Tim
