Default A3 racers what transmission safety items you have?

What are you guys using for safety items?

Anyone running a TCI or CSI trans shield?

I'm running a TH400 with a JW UltraBell and CSI SuperShield.

If anything gets through all of that, I figure I didn't have much of a chance to begin with.

I got the same exact setup as mongse, my TH400 was built by JW with the JW Ultrabell installed, and I'm running a supershield.

I always joke with the tech guy at the track, when he asked if I have a tranny shield i say "Yes the sheet metal floor board right there." Sometimes they have a sense of humor, sometimes they don't.

Does the CSI fit right in there without any modifications?

It fit fine on mine. The biggest pain was getting the bolts through all the holes(CSI shield, metal retainer ring, thicker UltraBell case) into the back of the motor. I pretty much decided that when I have to change the transmission, the whole thing get dropped.

What did you guys have to modify to get the trans shields to fit? Cut a lot of what?
