Trans Shield?
Can you fit a trans shield to a TH400 while it is in the truck? It's a 1968 low hump. I'd prefer a shield over a blanket due to heat on the street.

Re: Trans Shield?
Will depend on the shield and the height of the trans. Some fit closer than others. You may be able to drop the cross member and slide it up from the back. Do you know how much room you have between the trans and the floor?

Re: Trans Shield?
Not sure about a TH400, but I had to lower my TH350 on the back to do mine the time it was in the truck still, also low hump.

Re: Trans Shield?
With my 4l80e, I think a blanket would fit since it can hug the irregular shape, but I don't think the shield would fit just based on eyeing it.

Re: Trans Shield?
I run a TCI, pretty much the same as that Hughes.

Re: Trans Shield?
I don't have a stock tunnel but I have slid mine on from the rear.

Re: Trans Shield?
There is about an inch and a quarter between the floor and the trans. How much space do I need?
