FAQ

What is a transmission shield and why do I need one?
A transmission shield is a rigid, fire-resistant cover or housing that bolts over your transmission or bellhousing. It helps contain debris, oil, and heat in case of failure—protecting the driver and meeting race safety regulations.

Are your transmission shields SFI approved?
Yes! Many of our shields carry SFI 4.1 or higher certification, as required by NHRA, IHRA, and most racing organizations. Always check your rulebook and product description for required SFI ratings.

Which vehicles and transmissions do your shields fit?
We offer shields for popular GM, Ford, Mopar, and aftermarket performance transmissions. Check the product’s fitment details or ask our team if you don’t see your model listed.

How do I install a transmission shield?
Most shields bolt over the transmission bellhousing or main body using provided mounting hardware. Installation usually requires some removal of exhaust or driveline components and basic hand tools.

Do I need a shield if I already run a blanket?
Many sanctioning bodies require both—blankets for fluid and debris containment, shields for direct impact protection. Check your class rules or contact us for clarity.

Will a transmission shield interfere with transmission servicing?
Most shields are removable for routine inspection and servicing, and are designed for minimal impact on ground clearance and exhaust routing.

What materials are your shields made of?
Our shields use heavy-gauge steel, aluminum, or high-strength composite materials for the best combination of strength, light weight, and heat resistance.

What if my shield arrives damaged or doesn’t fit?
Customer satisfaction is our priority. If your shield doesn’t fit your transmission or is damaged on arrival, contact us within 7 days for a replacement, exchange, or refund.
