I have a 85 GT 4 speed, V-6 with air and this shield fits between the trunk and engine. Easy to get out, hard to get in. The screws are not easy to replace. This shied is OVER the cooling tubes...or just leave it off.

I just checked my brother's 86GT and it has the shield. I was correct that the dipstick/filler tube for the automatic transmission passes up through the large hole in the shield. Using notwohorns' first picture, it would be oriented as if you rotated the picture 180 degrees, looking down at it with the trunk wall near you.

If you look closely in #21 and #22 you can see the dipstick and automatic shift cable. What purpose does it really serve other than maybe slightly reducing heat to the trunk wall?

More likely, It save L4 engine electrics etc from heat from the muffler.
Above is for stick cars.
Ones w/ big hole open are for auto trans.------------------

Just for everyones FYI, Autos have that heat shield but that one did not come on an auto, as the hole is not fully punched out for the dip stick tube, not too common to see one not on an auto, but when I have I noticed the hole not punched out. Just about every auto I have worked on has that shield. It also goes under the alt cooler tube and uses 2 10 mm bolts to hold it. (do I work on these cars too much.?.?)
edit to add:didn't see Orge's post just above[This message has been edited by sardonyx247 (edited 12-05-2015).]

That's a crummy angle. If it ever stops raining here, I'll take a picture of the shield on my '86 GT from directly above.
