Default Re: transmission shield required is stock

Several years ago at Mission, Dan Cyrs A/SA 69 Camaro had an automatic transmission explosion so severe that it sent scrapnel up through the dashboard and out the windshield. Pretty scary stuff. Thay worked late into the night patching up the damage and installing a new windshield, and did race the next day. I have also seen the aftermath of several Torqueflights and Turbo 400s that blew apart, easily as bad as a clutch explosion on a stick car, but normally further back, and closer to the driver, and often in an area where the tunnel has been modified.
