I got the new transmission cover from VB last year, some where between 25 &
50 $$, only problem, it was pink. I painted it black and am very happy
with it. It cut down the heat inside the car considerable. Be sure to get
the U-shaped gasket with your order (sold separately of course). They
didn't seem to have the one that goes around the rest of it, some foam
weatherstripping worked for me. Good luck.
