This Tunnel Cover can be installed with simple hand and power tools. You will be required to drill some holes and cut a hole in the floor for transmission clearance and a hole in the Tunnel Cover for the shifter. Be sure to wear the proper protective gear when using power tools. If you plan to weld the cover to the floor, be sure to take necessary precautions when welding inside a vehicle to remove any close-by flammable materials.Although not completely necessary, we have found it easiest and safest to remove the carpet from the car to perform this installation.
1.Find the final location for engine and transmission fitment within the car's frame. Find and mark the shifter arm location on the transmission tunnel on the interior of the car. Considering where the shifter will be located, use your tunnel cover and mock up it’s location on the interior of the car. Trace the outside of the tunnel cover and set
it aside. Then draw another line approximately 1 ½” to the inside of
the first line. These will be your cut lines. DO NOT cut at the outer perimeter line.

2. Once the cut lines are laid out, take the necessary safety precautions and carefully cut out the rectangular portion of the tunnel within your marks. Test fit the transmission in place. Because of model differences and factory tolerances further trimming may be required. Be sure there is At least a small amount of clearance to allow the drive train to flex without hitting the floor. The end result should look something like this.
4. Next you will need to mark the Tunnel Cover for the shifter location in relation to the cover's position on the transmission tunnel. Cut a hole approximately 3.5” in diameter for the T-56 boot to fit through. We recommend splitting and wrapping vacuum tubing around the diameter of the hole to prevent gouging the shifter boot. Lay the Tunnel Cover over the transmission. With a plastic mallet tap the flanges down so that they mate up to the angle of the floor pan. Reposition the shifter boot as necessary to seal off the round hole.
