Trans Shields

Tom Goldman · 11-05-2024, 09:43 PM

A lot of guys have been going to a ballistic blanket on the Mopar trans due to CSR shields being so hard to get or have recertified . they are a terrible company to deal with. There is a company called Loganbuilt Transmissions in Kentucky that makes a stainless steel SFI flexplate shield .It's pricy but available.

Does a blanket hold in more heat?

Not enough to make any difference on the time slip.

I was told that they would not recertify if the unit was over 10 years old. If supply problems are that severe, perhaps they've changed that policy. It's worth a phone call before you send it.

At one time they would not certify a shield twice, they changed that policy when they were unable to make new ones for so long.

I had not heard of the "ten year rule" so I can't help on that one.

I second McKinney Corp. Amazing customer service. Built me a shield and I had a few minor issues on fitment, sent pictures and call later he shipped me a new one with a return label for the old one. Awesome people to work with.

A composite shield that covers the whole trans?
