Regarding the transmission tunnel.  My cardboard tunnel was in pieces
and didn't keep the heat nor noise out very well.  So, I bought some
fiberglass cloth and resin from a boat shop and covered my tunnel.  In
just a few minutes and a few dollars later, my tunnel was like new -
disregarding the aesthetics.  It is a cheap alternative to purchasing a
new one and it might even last longer than a new one.

Be careful when reinstalling it.  Fiberglass in the skin doesn't tickle.
