Resent...I forgot to delete the trailer.

As I remember the definition when I ran a roadster was..starts at the 
firewall and ends in front of rear axle. Cannot be lower than the lower 
frame rail. I had everything (trans, driveline and engine) above the 
bottom line of the step pan.

      You need to get Dan Warner or Bob Sykes to confirm this but I believe
the "step pan" must be above the transmission. The phrase "covering the
exposed portion of the transmission" refers to the portion "exposed" on the
inside of the car. The step pan can not cover the bottom of the
transmission. If you pull the trans up as you described, you have to put a
box over it and leave the bottom open. The point of this is to keep people
from building belly pans in classes that don't allow them.
