The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread-take 3

[ADR]

Hey folks. I'm having trouble finding pictures or illustrations of the under dash area, passenger side, to plan my free space usage. Please see pic attached and let me know what should be mounting to the tabs hanging down from the steel tub and share please share pics of yours!!!

(( I suspect that the circular holes are for fresh air and/or heater vents? ))

THANKS...

Yes, air and defrost vents. I no longer have a heater core but wonder if those tabs are for mounting it.

Anyone wear a helmet of some sort driving the 311 ?
I'm looking for one either soft padded or lite plastic shell. I've long ish hair and it's wild after a ride ...also DYK if in a wreck and you go to a hospital if you hit your head even slightly ,the neurologist starts at 35-40k now

The large hole on the right is the heater air intake and smaller hole is the fresh air vent the tabs are for mounting the blower fan for the heater.

Thanks Phil!
....starting with a partial car as a project is challenging. The community here makes it possible.

While I was changing my transmission oil I popped the access panel off just to have a look at the general condition in there, and THIS fell out

According to this diagram it looks like one of two 'shifting inserts' (part 10)

Everything else in there looks good, no excessive wear or chipped teeth. And I can't seem to reinstall the piece with the transmission assembled, so I just put the panel back on, filled it with some gear oil and took it for a test drive. The 2-3 shift has always been a little difficult, but I honestly have no idea what the part is supposed to do, besides seek freedom.

If anyone has any info on what this little piece does, I'd love to hear about it. I will probably drop the engine and trans at some point to paint the engine bay, so I could take it apart and see about jamming that little guy back in.

That’s out of a Warner transmission, I think it’s called a shift dog or something like that. It would require completely disassembling the transmission to put it back in place. It’s number 10 on your parts diagram.
