Anybody have the TCI SFI-rated aluminum tranny shield for a TH400? I've had the shield on it for a couple of years, but they never installed the NHRA-required pan straps, and never gave the loose parts to me. I got an install kit for the TCI shield, which includes the straps, and got the instructions of the TCI website.
But if you install the pan straps as specified, they are going to be "crooked". There are 2 "tabs" on each side of the shield that attach the shield to brackets on the pan bolts. But the tabs of the passenger side are offset to the rear, compared to the tabs on the drivers side.
Is that the way they are supposed to end up? You can see the blue shield in this photo, and the tabs on the passenger side. The front strap is probably going to interfere with the drain plug.....![Frown](https://f-body.com/core/images/smilies/frown.gif)
