This piece was attached to the transmission on my '87 Firebird, which was converter from auto to standard by a previous owner. I have the transmission out for other repairs. This part was a pain to get off and it will be much easier putting the trans back if I don't reinstall it. Does anyone know what this component does?
It mounts to the tail section and extends behind the trans and beneath the driveshaft. It's very heavy, I thought maybe it's a counter weight or something like that. I don't know where the trans originally came from, so I don't know if this is something specific to the car or specific to the trans and unnecessary for the car.
