Will not fit with stock electronics box in place over the shift selector shaft. You have to remove that stock box assembly over the shift selector and then the shield will fit. That box is the transmission range switch to tell the computer what gear the trans is in. It does not mean that you have to use a manual shift transmission, but that box assembly over the shift selector shaft most be removed and a switch installed on the shifter itself. Then the switch on the shifter is used to take the place of the stock shift selector that you remove. |
Key Benefits of a SFI Approved 4L80E Transmission Shield
- A properly installed 4.1 SFI transmission shield will provide greatly increased safety
for driver, crew members, track workers, vehicle and spectators. - SFI spec approved, required by many sanctioning bodies, in numerous classes, in
order to pass technical inspection before being allowed to compete. - They look great and allow the transmission to run much cooler than the transmission
blanket type safety device, because our shields allow for air circulation around the
entire transmission. This type shield does not become near as dirty as a blanket type shield and it is far easier to clean.
