Gary Lewis Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 You are missing the little plate that closes off access to the torque converter. Not a huge deal, but a rock or somesuch could get throw in there on one of your dirt roads and rattle around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary should have a picture of what it looks like, I made mine based off of one of his pictures. It was pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is actually my picture unless you are referring to the one after powder coating, Gary was missing one and I sent my extra to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I copied was the powder coated one, but yours would probably be a better reference for depth of the inset section of the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an earlier photo of it that I posted after I dug it out of my extra parts bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Bill, I was referring to the pictures, as in the picture with the powder coating versus your picture fresh out of the bin. It would probably be easier to see the depth of the plate when it's bare aluminum rather than with powdercoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
