 sort of at the front of the transmission all the way down the side to protect the gas tank in that area from the heat from the exhaust. And part of it is like an upside-down gutter, so it's open at the bottom with two 6-inch sides and a 6-inch across the top. I've tried a couple of stainless steel hose clamps put around there and tightened it up real tight, but it doesn't stop it the way it should. So is the shield attached to the pipe?
