Trans alignment issue 90 eclipse AWD

[Harm]

So we are trying to get the tranny in. As you may know we bought this project in pieces. The shield that goes between the trans and motor doesn't line up with the starter holes on the trans. I'm thinking the guy we bought it from gave us the wrong shield?? Should we just trim to fit since its only a shield/spacer?

I dont see why you couldn't trim it. Thats what i would do instead of trying to track down the right one.

We did actually cut it apart and welded it in the correct spot. I think it will work good. I will post some pics.a little later.

So i cut out the starter section and then turned some pins on the lathe that are used to locate the starter section of the plate. I then trimmed the plate to fit the big section. I didn't trim the bottom cut very well and had a bigger gap than i would have liked.

cleaned up the surface and welded it together. at least i didn't have to hunt one down and wait for it to show up
