Recommendations?
Yeah, there's no access cover for the side of the tranny tunnel
and it is a problem.
I tried to salvage the speedo cover from my original tranny tunnel but
the shape is different for the new molded plastic tunnels. Seems like
someone could manufacture a run or two of these and it would fill
a gap left there by the Big 3. They all sell the molded tranny covers
but no one sells a speedo cable adapter cover that fits the molded
tunnel.....
