I finally got the transmission put together, and Placed the CSI carbon Fiber shield over the transmission (727) and it looks like the band that wraps around the transmission will hit my shift linkage? Even with the spacer plate that came with the shield?

What I'm I doing wrong?

I have a Turbo Action shifter as well. It is a close fit but it works without interference.

i made a L shaped bracket about 4 inches wide that sticks up just enough to give me a little more clearance

I have the stock '71 B-Body Slap-Stick so I am not using a reverse valve body.

I may split the CSI plate, and weld in a spacer so it sits further out. I will have to see how much room I have to work with once the trans is in the car.

I had the same problem with mine. I ran the strap under trans pan, but when I put strap through the bracket, I folded the strap in half, then installed a 1/4" bolt (with lock nut and washers) through the slot in the bracket, keeping the strap away from shifter lever & cable. After the strap came through the sloted bracket, I opened it back up to go through the buckle. Also used the large pin (?like a safety pin) to keep loose end of strap away from headers.

I ended up not bothering to use their supplied bracket for extending the strap out from the pan rail. Instead, I just ran the strap around the linkage w/o over-tightening it so it doesn't interfere w/ the OEM Slap-Stik shifter linkage.

With the shield sandwiched between the trans and a stock steel floor the strap probably doesn't do much. If you have a thin aluminum floor use the strap! You could fail tech without the strap if you're required to have the shield.

I don't use my strap....it's rolled up out of the way....I don't see how the shield could go anywhere.

I could get away with out the strap, as I can't go quicker than 11:50 anyhow (no roll bar), but I prefer to have the strap installed.
I bought the shield when I was running the stock transmission internals, and wanted some extra protection 'just in case', but the intake valve broke before I got the shield installed. The SFI cert is probbably close to being out of date too.

They will never check the SFI cert date on the shield....but for like $25 they will recert the shield if you want.

Unless they changed the design, you will need to cut off the 2 forward bosses on the outside of the transmission to clear the shield.

What car do u have?
My experience . 70 rr 440 727. first u need a 3/8 12pt universal socket. On me two bolts bottomed out. Had to cut off a 1/4".
I had the engine and kframe out. Had to bolt it up a few times it hits in a few spots. It was fun to say the least.

If I had to try to do it the car i would probably unbolt the engine and tilt it. good luck . my

The bolts that come with it are 3/8 12 pt. allen bolts dont even work.

Mine were 3/8 12 point heads, a little long though.
