I just got a tci torque converter second hand and Found out when I took it to get balloon plates welded on it that it was out of balance real bad. When they put it on the lathe it looked like it was going to jump off because they welded the cover on wrong and the guy that did it said that it is a good thing I did not run it because it could have done engine damage and or transmission damage.
The guy who bought it called tci and told them and they said that they would not fix it because he could not find his receipt.
I had to pay an extra 150 to get it fixed right.
The guy that fixed it said that they had counter weights welded across almost half the converter to try to cover up their screw up, he is also a friend of a friend so I know he is being straight with me and he said it will work great now that he fixed it right but I will never buy anything else from TCI.
