[/ QUOTE ] They are part of reverse gear in the automatic transmission.Sprags,clutches,and backing plates.Must be assembled in the right order. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif I imagine the front backing plates wouldn't have provision for the emergency brake cable.

Aren't they the springy things used to hold decorative plates on the kitchen wall? Check HGTV for details.

I thought they were those wicker things you put under a paper plate to keep them from bending.

And speaking of plates...this guy was telling a story about how he had got in a car accident in Mexico, suffered head injuries and had a plate installed. Before the Mexican doctor put in the plate he said, "Now be careful, this plate is really hot..."

Oh, sorry Steve, I can't answer your question.

Traditional backing plates are made from real wicker, not plastic.
