so I picked up a new TCI shield. looks nice all red and such. I have the shield bolted to the trans at the servo. out of the box only one of the 3 brackets fit with out rebending. As for the pan bracket it is a no way with out adding and subtracting material. First issue is the second set of holes for a deep pan are not "long" enough to fit my TCI deep pan (go figure), second it has a hard interference with the shift cable bracket (also TCI). Sure seems they would have installed at least one of these things as a completed trans and not just a component by component basis. Any rate question is can I modify the pan bracket, I know I can not touch the top piece with the expense sticker.
