Just cut some wire mesh to bolt over it. Let some cool air in. But keep rocks out.

You do need to shape it the same as the original plate (it's not flat) so that it does not catch the flex plate. But that is easily done.

How much for one o' them? I have a 318 with (I think) a 727 trans. The Vin says D34 anyway.

I need to work out what trans I have... I'm sure it was advertised as having a 727.
