While I was under the car taking pictures of the transmission fluid leak, I discovered a few parts of the car that I haven’t seen before. The first part I saw was something in between the transmission and the engine. It looks like it has teeth of some sort but I don’t think this is a moving part. Perhaps someone can identify it for me. The other interesting part I discovered were the front shocks – drag race only shocks that are adjustible in some fashion.

Update: The picture on the left is of the starter gear. It is a moving part and it is welded directly to the torque converter. The picture on the right is Competition Engineering’s 3-Way Adjustible Drag Shocks. The front shocks are adjustible in three ratios: 90/10, 80/20 and 60/40.
