Mystery Part

[WorkinProgress]

Can anyone I.D. this shield? Part is 10" long X 7 1/2" wide.

Thanks, Warren

Transmission linkage shield on a 70 gto . That's the last place i saw one of those . Mounts to the bellhousing of an automatic transmission . Sound right ?

I found this part in an original L78 '69 Camaro that was being transformed into a drag car. I bought the car in '88 and the car had been sitting in a garage since '72 in Jamaica Queens, New York.

Originally I thought it might be a starter shield but quickly found out it wasn't.

chevelleshack, thanks for hopefully pointing me in the right direction. I will do some more research on the info you provided.

That pic is for a 4 speed . Bolts to the inspection shield holes of an automatic trans bellhousing .

So, I can assume the part only fits automatic with column shift and not including automatic with floor shift?

No , this was on a floor shift car . Would not matter though , still has the back drive linkage for key / shifter lock .
