Hi guys,yesterday I was driving and started hearing loud clattering noise underneath the car. I got out and peered underneath to find the plastic cover under the torque converter had broken off on one side and was hanging on one side and scraping the ring gear as it turned.
I had just replaced the starter about 2 weeks ago and noticed the plastic shield was broken near the mounted tabs by the starter and had tried to glue it but I guess that didn’t hold. I’ve contacted a couple junk yards but there are no third hens in them,and if there were I’m assuming the plastic pieces would likely be cracked or cracking too. Does anyone here know if these are being reproduced by anyone? I tried the classic industries site but didn’t see a listing for them. Maybe I missed it?
thanks for any help you guys may provide. I suppose if worst comes to worst I could take the cover off completely, but I’d prefer to put it back the way it was from the factory since their shield is obviously there for a reason

 

I found a listing on classic industries. Guess I wasn’t using the right words the first time. I can only find a listing for one for the turbo 350 trans. Will that work on the 305? They want $141 for it too. Ouch!

has anyone here successfully glued one of these back together? Mines broken near the mount tabs on the bottom.

 

Best source I know of is a transmission repair shop. Bring your old one with you regardless of its condition. Chances are they'll have a few to choose from and probably wouldn't charge you much (if anything). Worked for me when I was searching for an extension housing for the 700.

 

Thanks for the tip,i hadn’t thought of that. I’ll give it a try.

 

Is this what you seek?

I believe so,thanks. It doesn’t state if it’s for the v8 or not. I’ll have to check. Apparently the v6 uses a different one.
