It really depends, they seem to make a batch, sell out, then a wait until they make some more.
You might be able to find a dealer that has one, however you may have to give up some time on the certification date. 44 years of NHRA and IHRA track racing and I’ve never had a transmission shield, flywheel shield, or bellhousing date checked yet.

Before I installed the shield I had a blanket,,,,,,,,,,rolled up in the trunk next to the battery.When tech asked me if I had a blanket in the car my reply was YES Like John I have never had tech check the trans,damper or axles.
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

I have NEVER had a tech try to crawl under my car to check the date on my shield and its been on there since it was new(years ago).. they check simple things like the ground strap on the sending unit and if it shuts down when they hit the master shut off

Other than just wanting to sell new shields, does anyone know CSRs justification for not re-certifying unmodified shields the second time? I went through a BS storm to get my done. Told them it was not modified in any way. I even shipped all the hardware with it to show them it was like new. They finally recertified it reluctantly after a bunch of arguing back and forth. They tried to tell me that the material would start to lose its ability to perform.

Ihope no techs read this post!! My Southern Friends tell me there is no tech down south. Nope. The only time my car has been tech inspected to any degree was at Memphis in 2008 for the Pump Gas Drags and at Pinks in 2010 at ZMax. They didn't check dates on any of that stuff then either though. The only dates they checked were on the seat belts. Local tracks to me check nothing other than radiator overflow cans and driveshaft loops.
