Does anybody have any info regarding the use of trans shields for 2018 in stock and super stock

If you run faster than 10.99 or quicker you need one for Stock.

Marco · 02-14-2018, 11:05 PM

Is it just for the bellhousing or for the case as well

HR9121 · 02-14-2018, 11:23 PM

Case as well.

Paul Precht · 02-14-2018, 11:30 PM

Case only for 10.0 to 10.99 the way I read it.

For Stock...

10.99 and quicker SFI 4.1 transmission shield required.

9.99 and quicker SFI 30.1 flexplate shield required.

While"Safety First" is a wise and well thought premonition.Here are some of the concerns from my self and other racers.

With all due respect to the NHRA rule book, and rules of Stock Eliminator
( as they may still be in affect?? )

First off, just exactly, how is one to install a trans shield on a car with a stock floorboard with no modifications to, said floorboard.

BTW, I was wondering how many catastrophic trans failure have we had in stock in the last 20 years that has this new rule coming in?

This is getting crazy!

Does this apply to manual transmissions also? Obviously we are running a SFI bellhousing all ready.

No just automatics. We have scatter shields already.

Man so glad I switched to a 4 speed lol

Glen you are probably supposed to switch to a SFI case 400 or powerglide ( couldn't find a SFI case 350 or 200 in my quick search) Don't worry it only adds another $1500 to the cost of building a transmission.
