Replacing the sun shield while rebuilding the Trailblazer transmission was a must. The 146k miles transmission original sun shield had signs of metal fatigue at the axle bushing. In the event a stress failure, damages would have been far more costly. This is a heavy duty shield and in comparison with the previous one, differences area noticeable. I did not repair - instead I rebuilt the L-60 transmission, replace ALL solenoids including the wire harness, and had racing 3rd and 4rd clutches replaced with Bendix Z-pack. Modify valve on downloading from 3rd to 2nd shifting, among other minor modifications. It's worth it since I trail a Boat these modifications are mandatory.
