Looks like the peice of sheetmetal that holds the electrical harness away from the motor.

Located between the rear intake surge tank and the firewall, on the passenger side of the motor. Near the EEC. It should bolt to the surge tank brace, and hold that large mass of wires located back there.

I am sure it's for top and side bracket on mtx. I am not sure what actual purpose of it. I can assume it's purpose was to act as reverse switch sheild.

Don't worry about it, you don't need. It feel off from the transmission casing.

Definatly a bracket that holds wirering.

That's the bracket off of the MTX case. If I remember right it is just there to protect the clutch cable.

It's easy enough to put back. It goes on top of the tranny. I'd put it back just to say "it's right"
