TCI torque converters

07-12-2001, 11:20 AM

I too am a member of the TCI screwed club. I ordered a Street Fighter C4 and torque converter from them for my 69 stang a couple of years ago. First they sent me the wrong converter, so I had to send it back and fight to have them pay my shipping costs. Then, after that, I finally got it all in the car, and it ran like crap. After talking to them and trying a few different shifters, I discovered that it was the valve body that was messed up. So, I had to take it out and again, fight to have my shipping costs refunded to send it back. Finally, when I got the new valve body, it ran right. The problem was, the tranny didn't even last a year before it started acting funny. I sold the car just after a year of owning the tranny and the guy called me the next day and told me that the tranny died on him the day after he bought it from me. TCI only warrantied the tranny for a year. Good thing I gave him another stock C4 with the car, otherwise I'd have felt like a jerk selling him the car. Bottom line: DON'T BUY TCI!! jmho
