Technically not but considering I would have to drop the exhaust and front driveshaft again to re-install it later, I want to get it replaced before I put everything back together. Its also proven to have done its job of protecting the torque converter once already, so its worth replacing. Not to mention the 6 bolts holding it to the transmission bellhousing and 2 torque rods that bolt to it tell me its somewhat structural in nature.

ah, im thinking of a 4L60E with the little plastic dust covers. i wasnt aware that an 80 had a full lower cover similar to the old syle.

Trying to hammer a dent out. Cast aluminum only like to get bent once...

If you would have stuck with JB Weld, none of this would have been an issue.

Dust covers are overrated, just mount the torque rods straight to the bellhousing and use shorter bolts...:D
