if its goin in a stock tunnel you will have to also peen over the pinch weld between the firewall and tunnel. i dont know you or your car, but if it aint like some kinda original collecter car do yourself a big favor and drill some holes thrugh the fire wall to put the tranny bolts in,its a tight squeeze with sheild because the bolts have to be longer.

I never did get one to fit my factory tunnel. I ended up getting a blanket.

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

one more thing to check,i had two csr sheilds that the bolt holes didnt line up.you have to actually strap it down and make sure the bolts go STRAIGHT thru when the shield is tight,its a real pain when you get it all put together and every thing is perfect except one stinkin bolt hole is off.

I know that we've all seen the questionable pics of the blown-alcohol car. Has anyone here exploded a tranny into one of these shields and seen what happened? In my own case we went with the largest blanket we could find b/c we didn't feel that a carbon fiber shield offered the most protection.
A blanket is fine as long as you only plan upon running 10 seconds or slower. You still need the bell housing covered to run faster making the CSR shield the best option out there? And I have seen one of these shields in a 9 second car put to the test. The driver was not injured but the shield was toast. Did it do its job?????

Hi guys I got the dam thing in. I cut out the top of my tunnel, took the pan off and ground off the lip on the trans pan where the shifter linkage used the spacers to line up, so I wouldn,t have to use them , 2 guys putting it together, one guy on the bolt and the other guy pushiong and pulling as hard as he can to line it up.

This is the one thing that makes me think about putting a glide in my car!!!! I really am not a fan of cutting up my car...I definitely understand that its a necessary evil...but I wish there was another option!!!
There is another option. An ultra bell and a blanket will pass tech for 9.99 and quicker.
