1967 Power glide throttle valve control splash shield

[John M.]

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a 1967 Power glide throttle valve control splash shield page G419 M35 in the assembly manual. I think its a protective cover for the transmission linkage. Thanks for reading.

John, I don't know where you can get the shield, but try an old junk yard for a 65, 66 or 67 passenger car for the exact sheld as used on the 67 Corvette. Other years may have the shield but I can't confirm that.

In PRODUCTION the shield was known as GM #3908110. In SERVICE it was known as GM #3908109. Why the difference I do not know but it was likely because there was some slight difference between the PRODUCTION and SERVICE shields, most likely some included part like a panel nut or something that one had and the other did not.

The 3908110 or 3908109 were applicable ONLY to 1967 Corvettes with Powerglide and NO other application. So, don't waste any time looking for one in a wrecking yard off some other model.

The GM #3908109 was discontinued without supercession in April, 1973. That's about 38 years ago, so I expect the NOS supply has pretty well dried up by now. There were likely never many in SERVICE inventory, anyway and I'll bet not a single dealer ever stocked such a part.

Want one? Pacific Corvette shows that they have a used one in stock. The price is very high but that's probably a function of the minuscule supply and lack of a reproduction. In this case, I'd say it's worth what they're asking.

I don't have a 67 AIM but I believe you are referring to the shield with a piece of rubber attatched to it. If so it was also used on 66 vettes starting in March 66 and is available from Corvette Central for $99

Yes, I see now that it was also used for late 1966 although GM never cataloged the part in SERVICE for 1966.

Now I know what the SERVICE only GM #3908109 was and it's just about as I previously speculated. It's the combination of the 3908110 shield and 3908111 extension (the rubber attached piece). In PRODUCTION the parts were supplied separately and attached at St. Louis. In SERVICE the parts were supplied already attached as an assembly.

If I remember correctly, the installation of the shield was a GM campaign/recall in 1966 or 67. It may have included 65.
I don't remember if the recall included Corvette but it did include all pass cars with PowerGlide transmissions.

A shield was specified for 1965-67 passenger cars with Powerglide but it's a different shield than the one used on Corvettes. The part number of that shield, GM #3904595, implies a late 1966-early 1967 release. There was a predecessor part number, though, and that was GM #3886397. It was supposed to have been used for 1965 passenger cars but it looks like too late of a part number to ever have been originally used on a 1965. It could be a campaign part, though, for 1965. The 3904595 replaced it for SERVICE in mid-1967.

I agree. The 3886397 part number is too high, numerically, to have been an original number for 65. That would be a number near SOP of the 66 model year.

Now that I think about it, I'm sure there was a recall/campaign on the shield. I don't remember what year it was for but it may have been for 65.

I didn't know the Corvette shield was unique to Corvette but I'm not surprised.

Jim Gregg was making them. Don't know if there are any left. Try Joe Ray.

Joe, with your vast collection of parts, can you or maybe someone else provide photos to show the difference between the different shields?
Thanks,

I make the repos and Joe Ray sells them. Hurry as the last metals were used to make the last batch

I do have a lot of parts but I've never acquired any of these shields.

Thanks for the help and the lesson. I knew I was missing something but didn't know what it was till last weekend at the NCRS show. I order one today from Corvette Central $96.00 again thanks for the lesson.

Got a new splash shield today is there a special type of bolt needed to secure it to the tranny?

In the assembly manual it calls for a attaching screw???

also my shield came with 3 mounting holes one on each end and one in the middle, but it when I put it up agaist the tranny only the upper and lower holes have the capability of mounting. Is trhe middle hole used for something else? thanks for reading and support.
