TCI Transmission is bad
Total crap incorporated here in Australia too.......,
My buddy had major let go too with his (Drag race TCI T'flite #112000)
After buying it through Summit then loading it on a shipping container and some 12,000 odd miles on a boat the into the EFI Dart wagon...
Kapowwwww it lost drive after a measly 400 miles!
I pulled it down ( no end float clearance whatsoever ).
Full of metal from a chewed out oil pump that had machined itself internally !!!!
It has a very late input shaft too which is a contributing factor too !
It is a 78' case with an 83' extension housing
And a 74' valve body , talk about a bitsa !
Here at TCI Lets throw any old bits laying about together and paint it and sell It !
They have drilled both the fwd and middle accumulators through the case for drain/bleed ??
It must be due to the style of valve body set-up ??
I've always used A&A , TCS, CRT and SMR parts and never had a problem.
Basically it's a 727RB with a bolt in sprag with a full manual valve body!
I'll now start again for him !
