And pull it and check/fix it if you break anything in the driveline under power. And no low gear burnouts. Originally Posted by cudaman1969 The sky is falling The sky is falling. Everything will break Correction. Everything can break. But there are simple, well known steps to take that can prevent it or stop it from being catastrophic.

I'm guessing trans parts hit enough of the cowl area that the trim flew off because of it. '18 Ford Raptor, random motorcycles, 1968 Plymouth Fury III - 11.37 @ 118

I am not required to have a trans shield to run mid 11s but I keep it in just in case. Its a pain when changing a motor or trans but I like having the security of it. 68 Dart 410 / 904 92 D150 original owner 21 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, Big Horn , Hemi ,4x4 23 Audi Q5 16 Honda HRV
