ABSTRACT:
This patent discloses a shield for an automatic transmission used in race cars radial that includes a strengthened fluid pan and a formed metal jacket shield that extends around the section of the housing of the transmission adjacent to the fluid pan from opposite sides of the fluid pan. The strengthened fluid pan is constructed to extend outwardly from the transmission housing to provide locations at which the jacket shield may be secured to the fluid pan and to increase the volume of the fluid pan as compared to conventional fluid pans. The jacket shield is secured directly to the fluid pan and in combination with the fluid pan provides a shield that continuously surrounds the transmission and resists perforation and separation due to impact of fragments propelled from the transmission after breakage of rotating components of the transmission.
