What part is this?

[DanielP]

I think this is a heat shield or something for wires going to the transmission. Does anyone know what it is called? This is on a 1996 2DR Tahoe.

This on the passenger side?

 

[DanielP]

Yes, passenger side.

Last guy I bought it from said he put a new transmission in it. I am tempted to just toss the part because all it does right now is rattle.

I think it was a heat shield for the heavy starter cable?
