Transmission shield

I was told by the tech guy over the weekend that I need a transmission shield to run quicker than 11.00. Which shields are you guys running on your cars? I have a 1972 GS with factory floor, so I'm not sure how much room I have.

Thank you.

I'm using a "blanket" type. I think its made by G-Force and I bought it from Summit. Watch for binding up the shift cable. And,. I'm not using the lower flywheel cover so I poked some heavy wire through the "blanked" in two places and wired the blanket to the unused holes for the cover. I don't trust the blanket belts to keep it from sliding back into the spinning yoke. Jim P

 

SFI Bell wont pass?,the CSI formed shields fit really tight but I haven't seen one for a BOP

 

Any issues with a blanket type for street driving?

Hugger - SFI Bell will satisfy the flexplate shield requirement, but I don't think it will pass the transmission requirement.

I was told I need a tranny shield at 10.90, and a flexplate shield is needed at 9.99....which my heavy car will probably never see.

 

Seems kinda backwards, id want a ultrabell b4 I worried about needin a blanket or case shield, our tracks down here only make sure we paid our $7 to run, to hell with everything else ha, but if thats what the track wants whats a guy gonna do

 

Tom,
I used this one on the recommendation from
Jim W. It's tight but will cover everything..

Yeah, that one will take care of both.

Thank you.

 

We ran the CSR on our car as well. Going to an SFI case now. If someone is looking for a CSR shield I will be selling the one we have.

 

How much for the shield Chris?

Thank you.

 

Yea how much? I like that one!

 

Hey Tom let me verify it's condition. It's at my brothers house along with the rest if the car. I'm thinking $200?

 

Do you have to update that every 2 years?

 

I believe it's 5 years for these. But it's not like they are gonna crawl around and look for the tag.

 

How much do they charge to reinspect it or have you ever done that.

 

I have no idea. They won't recert a modified shield. It's next to impossible to get cooler lines on without trimming.
