Wanted Block separator plate 2.8

[Blueoval]

I need the thin aluminum plate that goes between the automatic transmission, and the engine block. Some call it a "separator plate". I need it complete with the small inspection cover at the bottom that is removed to get to the torque converter nuts. If you have one at a reasonable price, I would be interested. Thanks.

Still looking for this. Thanks.

These separator plates are hard to find.

Just FYI, I've had to use a manual plate on an auto before out of necessity. The torque converter nuts can be accessed through the starter hole, after the starter is removed. The correct auto plate with window is nicer, but not absolutely needed.

Another FYI.
2.9 and 2.8 starter index plate is interchangeable.

Thanks RobbieD and tw205 for the info.

Yeah done a manual transmission swap on a bronco ii recently. That is correct about the separator plate! Manual plate will work on automatic but doesn’t have the little plate that is removable at the bottom like the automatic plate has!
