[TR] [6pack] Tranny Tunnel

[acekraut11 at aol.com]

 The secret to an easy installation is to insert the bolts through the bottom of the car so the bolt sticks up through.? Then you can force the tunnel down over the exposed bolts and slide on a washer and nut from the inside of the car.? Much, much easier than trying to get that damn bolt started from above.

I suspect that a well fitting tranny cover is an oxymoron. The kit from TRF is
good quality, the black plastic cover is robust and appears to be well made.
TRF has the clips and seals and the bolts and other metalwork. You will
exhaust your entire vocabulary of four letter words getting it to fit. There
is no provision for access to the tranny oil filler or access to the speedo
drive unless you create them.

I don't understand the fitting kit part, that is just bolts and washers and
clips and rubber gaskets. The challenge seems to be with molding a cover that
maps to perhaps a diverse range of floor assemblies.

OK....who makes the best fitting after market transmission Cover/Tunnel and
sealing strip? I'm talking about the Poly ones. I've read good and bad about
this product but my "fiber" one is not worthy of going back in the car. I
think it has to do with that one bolt I missed when trying to remove it
.........drat. I found one on eBay for $80 but he doesn't include a fitting
kit because "he hasn't found one that meets his standards".

Thanks
Bob
