I picked up a new CSI supershield from a buddy, and it's super light. That's good. But it looks like as folks said, it will be murder accessing the bellhousing bolts.

Would a flexplate-ONLY shield and blanket be an easier combo to install?

if you put a blanket on there, your trans will run extremely hot as your are wrapping your trans tightly.. this means you wont be able to drive it on the street without having to worry about it overheating...

the thing im lost with is why does it matter if its difficult to pull/put the trans in when Dan is going to be doing it anyways?

John,

One trick we use is to mark the position of the top bell housing bolts on the firewall and drill holes for access from the inside. They are normally under the carpet and makes servicing much easier.

None of the guys over there including Dan have ever installed a CSI supershield into a 4th gen f-body, so I thought I would ask to see if there were helpful hints.

Chris-
Because they will charge him more the longer it takes.

I run an ultrabell and a blanket. When I wrap mine with a blanket it never overheats or gets excessively warm. And yes, drilling holes through the floorpan is definitely the way to go.

The Trans blanket is probably an additional 10 degrees on average during the summer. It's nothing that two transcoolers can handle on a daily driver.
