TORQUE CONVERTERS

Circle Track Torque Converters Looks aren’t everything…but with regards to torque converters, they can hide the secret to winning races. For sanctioning bodies that mandate the use of a “stock appearing” converter, TCI® Circle Track Torque Converters satisfy the rulebook requirements while delivering a distinct performance advantage. TCI® Circle Track Torque Converters are specially designed with a lower “positive lock-up” stall speed, eliminating approximately 10% of the power robbing slippage found in OEM and lesser quality converters. On the track, this results in huge off-the-corner acceleration improvements and the ultimate in “green flag” starting speed. • Satisfy requirements of “stock appearing” converter • Designed with positive lock-up stall speed to eliminate approximately 10% of power robbing slippage • Feature heavy-duty stator, furnace-brazed fins and precision-certified stall speed • Can reduce lap times by up to two-tenths of a second • Reduced rotational weight improves engine braking in corners to lower transmission operating temperatures |
Built with a heavy-duty stator, furnace-brazed fins and precision-
certified stall speed to maximize efficiency, these stock appearing
converters usually reduce lap times by one to twotenths of a
second. In addition, these converters feature reduced rotational
weight to improve engine braking in corners and lower transmission
operating temperatures. #741025 $374.13 GM Powerglide 10", Small Bolt Pattern Torque Converter TCI® FastLap Comparison

TRANSMISSIONS
|
Circlematic™ Transmissions In the past, manual transmissions were the popular choice for circle track racing, but TCI® has found that there are several advantages to running a TCI® Circlematic™ Transmission instead. The first advantage includes a significant weight savings – TCI® automatic transmissions are, on average, 50 to 60 lbs. lighter in weight than manual 4-speed transmissions, depending upon application. This weight savings reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and valve train. Second is the cost savings. TCI® Circlematic™ Transmissions cost anywhere from $500 to $600 less for a basic automatic setup. Third, and the most important advantage, is the performance level experienced when using a TCI® Circlematic™ Transmission. Racers who have made the switch from their standard 4-speed setup have experienced improved performance. TCI® Circlematic™ Transmissions have been track tested and have been proven to be more responsive off the turns than standard shift transmissions, plus the engine picks up much more quickly. They also have excellent throttle response in the corners and on restarts. In addition, the TCI® Automatic is consistent for every race, so the clutch does not have to be adjusted before each event. TCI® offers a variety of automatic Powerglide, TH350 and C4 transmissions for oval track competition. TCI® Direct Drive Powerglide Circlematic™ Transmissions eliminate the need for all external control of the line pressure when using a straight pump drive. You operate the transmission by simply placing it into gear and easing down on the accelerator. Powerglides can be custom built with a 1.65, 1.76, 1.80, 1.82, 1.92, 1.96 and 2.11 low gear planetary set. TH350 transmissions provide full engine braking, and the transmission/converter combinations give you 100% fluid coupling while the C4 model has a standard shift pattern and provides engine braking in all gears. Both the TH350 and C4 can be built with a 2.75 low gear. All transmissions feature high performance clutches, bands, and a steel clutch hub (where applicable), and the Powerglides feature a modified planetary gear set that will work with the latest rear suspensions. As with all TCI® transmissions, each unit has been Triple Tested, including valve body, static hydraulic pressure, and final dyno testing to ensure you receive the best possible transmission for your circle track needs. • Proven weight and cost savings, improved performance over standard 4-speed circle track transmissions • Race proven performance advantages include improved response off turns, quicker engine pick-up; increased throttle response in corners and on restarts • Clutch does NOT require adjustment before each event • Aftermarket full race clutches and performance bands; steel clutch hub and heavy-duty sprags where applicable for increased durability and strength • Modified output shafts (Powerglides) for the latest rear suspensions and steel hubs • Fully manual valve body for consistent shifts • 500 HP on most models, up to 650 HP on others |

FLEXPLATES
|
Flexplates TCI® stamped flexplates for Ford and Chevy applications are .035" thicker than stock, and the starter ring is welded to both sides of the flexplate for additional strength. Constructed from a high tensile strength material, these flexplates resist elongation and cracking. 168-Tooth flexplates have GM dual bolt patterns and are sized for stock 3/8" mounting bolts, but can be easily drilled for 7/16" diameter high performance torque converter applications. Ford applications are balanced specifically for their appropriate engine/transmission combination. • Double welded ring gear stops ring detachment • Extra thickness stops cracks and breakage • Balanced to factory specs  |

FRONT PUMP DRIVES
|
Front Pump Drives TCI® Front Pump Drives allow you to run without a torque converter where legal and can reduce rotating mass by anywhere from 15 to 30 lbs. compared to running a converter. This reduced mass improves off-the-corner acceleration and engine braking in the corners, which lowers transmission operating temperatures. Front Pump Drives require a specially designed valve body sold by TCI® and are adjustable for nonmotor plates and 1/8" and 1/4" motor plates. • Allow race transmissions to run without a converter • Reduce rotating mass by 15 to 30 lbs. compared to running a torque converter • Reduced mass improves off-the-corner acceleration & engine braking in corners to reduce transmission temps • Require specially designed valve body • Adjustable for non-motor plates, 1/8" & 1/4" motor plates  |

Electric Brake Shut-Off The TCI® Electric Brake Shut-Off allows the driver to electrically shut off the right front brake caliper to enhance corner entry handling in dirt circle track racing applications. The easy-to-install solenoid mounts directly into the brake line, anywhere between the master cylinder and caliper. A flip of the switch activates the 6061-T6 aluminum encased, continuous- duty solenoid. The solenoid then blocks fluid flow to the right front caliper, eliminating the common “push or tight” condition experienced under corner entry braking. • Waterproof, heavy-duty solenoid handles up to 3000psi and can handle frequent high pressure washings • Compact solenoid requires only single amp of current so electrical system won't be drained • Does not overheat during long-term use • Works with all hydraulic brake systems; perfect for Stock Cars, Modifieds and Late Models

DRAG RACE
TORQUE CONVERTER OVERVIEW
| TCI® builds race converters to suit the needs of a wide variety of applications so there are literally hundreds of drag race converter combinations offered. TCI® Drag Race Torque Converters were designed by experienced drivetrain engineers to provide a significant increase in performance at the strip. With a more efficient stall speed, faster acceleration and better mid-range power, your machine will get the rear wheel power it deserves. |
|
9", 10" & 11" TCI® 9", 10" and 11" Drag Race Torque Converters can be run in applications with up to 750 horsepower and are most commonly used for a bracket race or street/strip application that leans more toward the "strip." Stall speeds vary depending on application but the average is 3800-4500 RPM for 9" and 10" converters and 3000 RPM for the 11" version. |
|
8" The 8" Drag Race Torque Converter is the best selling race converter TCI® offers. Suitable for the greatest percentage of drag cars at up to 7500 RPM, TCI® 8" Drag Race Torque Converters win races in classes from Bracket Racing and Super Gas to Sand Dragging and Stock Eliminator. Most models feature a cast steel stator supported by an oversize caged bearing for added reliability. Current models also feature an improved housing design for less flex or ballooning under the stress of racing, resulting in more consistent elapsed times, faster reaction times and better durability. |
| Specific to 8" Drag Race Torque Converters are the fact that they are built brand new – most companies use existing/ previously used cores, but TCI® uses all new cores and components |
|
• Furnace-brazed fins increase durability • Three sets of Torrington bearings replace thrust washers used in OEM and certain aftermarket converters to triple thrust capacity capabilities • Increased strength & holding capacity of high load sprag assemblies maintain stator stays locked when stalling & guarantees converter will stall correctly run after run • 8" Steel ballooning plates double strength of converter when using transbrake and/or power adders • Cast steel stator (where applicable) replaces industry standard aluminum design and is able to handle a larger load and higher HP applications • Forged steel front increases strength and stops any chance of ballooning |
|
7" The 7" Drag Race Torque Converter was developed for use with a small cubic inch or very high RPM engine (up to 9000 RPM) that requires the ultimate high-stall converter. As the smallest and lightest weight converter that TCI® offers, the 7" converter delivers higher stall and better top-end lock-up than an 8" converter. Because of the wide variety of engine combinations, tire sizes, gear ratios and weights of different vehicles, all 7" drag race converters are custom builds. See page 124 to order yours today. |
|
• Furnace-brazed and reinforced fins increase durability • Ballooning plates double strength of converter when using transbrake and/or power adders • 360° Steel mounting ring strengthens mounting area of converter to flexplate • Three sets of Torrington bearings replace normal thrust washers used in OEM and some aftermarket converters to triple thrust capacity capabilities • Increased strength & holding capacity of high load sprags keep stator locked when converter stalls & guarantee converter will stall correctly run after run |

BOLT-TOGETHER TORQUE CONVERTERS

Race Bolt-Together Torque Converters With a fully furnace-brazed turbine and CNC-machined billet design, the GM 6L80 Bolt-Together Race Bolt-Together Torque Converters from TCI® are engineered specifically for serious racers that require a torque converter with the utmost in strength and quality. They are designed for extreme power, easy stall speed changes and consistent performance. This race version requires a custom tuned TCU/PCM. Benefits include a triple-disc clutch with significantly higher torque capacity and much higher clamping force than a single-disc design, while they also have the ability to fully lockup under wide open throttle so there is little or no high-gear slippage. Even though these converters are designed as a race only” part with special tuning, they can be used in many high horsepower and modified vehicles when a single-disc converter simply won’t withstand the power. Featured along with the high torque capacity, triple-disc, woven carbon fiber friction lock-up clutch is a 50-spline clutch hub, meaning the horsepower capacity of this converter is second to none. The bolt-together CNC billet design permits users to easily set the optimum stall speed for his or her application without sending it back to TCI®. When the stall is properly matched to the torque curve of the engine, the launch and overall performance of the vehicle will be greatly increased. The bolttogether design also enables quick disassembly to allow inspection and service of bearings and lock-up components at home or at the track. And like all TCI® torque converters, each unit undergoes the legendary TCI® Triple Testing process and is HDT™ coated to prevent corrosion and help dissipate heat.
Footnotes: 1 This is a custom order piece – select your preferred stall speed or ask TCI® for a recommendation. Applications: • Camaro (All V8, 6L80E/6L90E) • Pontiac G8 (All V8, 6L80E/6L90E) • Cadillac CTS-V (All V8, 6L80E/6L90E) • Silverado/Sierra (All V8, 6L80E/6L90E Applications)  HDT™ COATING Prevents Corrosion & Dissipates Heat |

TRANSMISSIONS
| TCI® has been building drag race transmissions for over 40 years, and we go the extra mile to ensure your transmission is superior in both form and function to what you would purchase at a local transmission shop. Beginning with a careful inspection of the transmission case and components, stock parts are replaced with high performance bands and components where applicable. We also increase fluid flow and improve the lubrication system and thrust capacity. Problematic hard parts are replaced with stronger ones, many of which are manufactured at TCI® in-house machining centers. Valve bodies are completely remanufactured and 100 percent tested prior to installation. Finally, each and every TCI® transmission must pass both a static hydraulic pressure test during assembly and a final dyno test prior to shipping. That's Triple Tested so you can be confident you're getting a transmission that's ready to perform. |
|
Full Manual Competition Designed for the extreme high performance street or all out race car, these Full Manual Competition Transmissions will give you consistent shifts as well as complete control over shift points. Available in reverse and standard shift pattern (most applications), they require no vacuum hookups or kickdown linkage. This means there are no external linkages to be purchased, which saves some expense. The increased line pressure provides a harder, quicker shift and eliminates the lag time between shifts produced by automatic shift transmissions. • Extreme performance clutches and nitrided steel plates for enhanced performance • High-performance powerbands provide greater torque capacity and more positive shifts and band apply • Hardened sprag races increases durability & strength • Improved lubrication system increases fluid sent to planetaries and internals • Able to handle up to 750 HP, depending on application |
Transbrake Designed for the serious full-tree bracket racer, TCI® Transbrake Transmissions deliver the quickest and most consistent reaction times in the business. These transmissions are blueprinted and built one unit at a time to ensure that you get quality parts. Designed for horsepower ranges of up to 750 horsepower, they are able to withstand the rigorous use of week-to-week racing and back-to-back passes. Available in both reverse and standard patterns (on select models only); Pro Tree versions are available and have a “neutral” reverse for safety. • Full manual valve bodies with full race clutches & bands allow for quicker shift timing and the ability to run higher line pressures than with an automatic shift transmission • Higher line pressure makes it more difficult for clutches to slip under high loads • Oversized sprags & races (where applicable) increase holding capacity; steel hubs increase durability & strength • Improved lubrication system increases amount of fluid sent to planetaries and internals • Designed to handle up to 750 HP |
|
Bracket Racing Powerglides As Powerglides are the most commonly used drag race transmissions, they are generally offered in a wide variety of configurations. TCI® does offer custom Powerglides for horsepower applications over 700 HP as shown on page 124, but for applications making under that, we recommend a part numbered Bracket Racing Powerglide. TCI® Bracket Racing Powerglides include a new steel stock depth transmission pan with drain plug, a 4140 steel clutch hub, universal shift lever, high-performance clutches and steels and high energy bands. The high-performance clutches and steels provide a high coefficient of friction and high temperature resistance, as well as a grooved surface area to improve clutch apply time. TCI® steel plates are engineered from a specially heat-treated steel for increased durability. The high energy bands also have a higher coefficient of friction for higher torque capacity and the ability to produce quicker, more positive band engagement. So while these transmissions are made for lower HP applications, TCI® has still used the highest quality materials and internal components to make these Bracket Racing Powerglides the #1 choice for drag race applications making under 700 HP. Note: The 1.76 Bracket Race Powerglide will work with an engine making up to 700 HP but requires an aftermarket input shaft. The 1.82 will work up to 600 HP but will also require an aftermarket input shaft.
Footnotes: 1 All 1.82 ratio bracket racing Powerglides include a special reinforced stock planetary. A steel girdle is welded over the housing, which increases torque load capacity. All shorty bracket racing Powerglides include a re-splined and heat-treated output shaft and shorty cover.

PRO-X™ Powerglide Gerotor
Pumps In racing, durability and light weight are the key components to winning, and TCI® is known for building the ultimate performing GM Powerglide drag racing automatic transmissions and internal components. TCI® Gerotor Pumps offer several design advantages over the OEM involute-style pumps, plus improved low RPM flow and reduced horsepower consumption. The aluminum construction significantly reduces pump weight by six pounds from the overall transmission weight without sacrificing strength and dissipates heat more efficiently than the factory pump. Both styles have bolt-in heattreated stator support tubes and dry film lubricated gears to reduce friction and wear. The high volume pumps also handle line pressures up to 300psi. • Pumps available for both ring & ringless style input shafts • Friction-reduction coated to decrease drag • Aluminum style dissipates heat quickly for added durability

PRO-X™ Powerglide Input
Shafts As part of its PRO-X™ line of hardcore racing components, TCI® offers two PRO-X™ Input Shafts for hardcore GM Powerglide race applications.These input shafts eliminate breakage by incorporating unique proprietary construction material and a special heat-treating process. The PRO-X™ standard configuration input shaft is a direct replacement component able to handle up to 2000 HP applications. The PRO-X™ Ringless Input Shaft replaces the oad-limiting internal rings with a special bushing and enlarges the diameter of the shaft for increased strength. In addition, TCI® reengineered and improved the shaft’s full cooler circuit flow for more efficient torque converter function as well as better lubrication for increased strength and durability over other types of ringless input shafts. Able to handle 2500+ HP applications, use of the TCI® Ringless Input Shaft requires installation of a TCI® Gerotor Pump for proper operation. #749602 $635.24 1.76 GM Powerglide PRO-X™ Input Shaft  #749603 $723.51 1.76 GM Powerglide PRO-X™ Ringless Input Shaft

NOTES Engines producing over 800 HP require a PRO-X™ Input Shaft. For 1500+ HP engines, use the PRO-X™ Ringless Input Shaft. The Turbo spline shaft allows installation of a 30-spline Turbo 350/400 converter in a Powerglide. If your torque converter does not have a turbine bushing this shaft requires some minor machining of the stator support to accommodate the included turbo support bushing. TCI® also offers input shafts that will allow the use of a 17-spline Powerglide converter with the Turbo 350/400 transmission. |

PRO-X™ Overflow Canisters Transmission fluid should always stay in the transmission; while it seems like a simple principle, it can be difficult to achieve. At high RPM, it is not uncommon for fluid to escape through the transmission vent - spreading oil on the undercarriage of your racecar. To eliminate the resulting safety concerns and mess, TCI® offers three lightweight PRO-X™ Overflow Canisters; one each for Ford C4 and GM Powerglide and TH400 transmissions. While weighing less than two pounds each, they hold approximately one quart of fluid and attach to the transmission pan in three easy steps to safely contain high RPM fluid blow-by. • Lightweight aluminum construction; black powder coated exterior with etched PRO-X™ logo • Welded bungs, braided steel lines, & all necessary fittings • Largest canister is 12" x 2"; no ground and header clearance issues • 1/8" Petcock valve for quick draining & maintenance |

This reduces weight from the transmission's rotating mass without compromising drum integrity. All drums are designed to hold five to six standard thickness friction clutches and six steel clutches dependant upon piston machining. These drums are hard-coat anodized for improved wear characteristics.  |

Footnotes: 1 A total of 7 to 8 frictions can be achieved in these drums using special thinner style clutches and a special machined piston. This may be desired in high horsepower applications. |
|
Steel Transmission Drum Kits These drum kits are configured to use high performance frictions and steels, which significantly increase lock-up surface area and allow the drum to hold more torque. The drum is constructed from a high-strength cast steel and has had excess material removed to reduce rotating mass. Oil holes have been added to allow fluid to escape the drum and permit the piston to engage quicker. A standard needle bearing stepped into the front side reduces friction and drag while the high strength, forged-steel clutch hub is built extra tall to accommodate the additional clutch plates.

Powerglide Planetary Low Gear
Ratios The Powerglide planetary is referred to as a compound gear set with a ring gear. Figure 1 demonstrates the various elements of this planetary.  Figure 1 When the transmission is in low gear, the band is holding the high gear drum stationary, which also means that sun gear S1 (flange gear) is stationary. Input is provided through sun gear S2 (center gear). This input is transmitted to pinion gear P2/P3, then to pinion gear P1 (auxiliary gear). Since S1 is being held, P1 is driven around S1 along with the carrier and output shaft. The ratio at which the input shaft turns compared to the output shaft can be determined as follows: Ratio = 1 + [(P2/P3)(S1/S2)] Gear tooth counts for the ratios offered by TCI® are as follows:

VALVE BODIES & ACCESSORIES
|
Transbrake Valve Bodies TCI® Transbrake Valve Bodies allow you to achieve maximum torque converter stall and provide for quicker and more consistent reaction times and 60-foot times. This is due to the transbrake action which prevents an engine’s torque load from being transmitted through the drivetrain prior to launch. The transbrake acts in much the same manner as a manual clutch. Once it is engaged, the vehicle can neither roll forward nor backward, and as you press on the accelerator, the engine can turn RPM as high as the torque converter stall. Once the transbrake is released, the power is transmitted immediately to the rear tires in much the same manner as a manual clutch but with the parts saving advantage of the torque converter’s shock absorbing action. |
|
• Transbrake action prevents torque load transmission through drivetrain before launch • Vehicle will not be able to roll forward or backward |
• Power is immediately transferred to rear tires, very similar to a manual clutch |

Full Manual Valve Bodies The competition valve body was designed for maximum performance and quick elapsed times in racing applications. By controlling the valve body only through manual means, quicker shift timing and the ability to run higher line pressures than possible with an automatic shift transmission are achieved. Higher line pressure makes it more difficult for clutches to slip under high loads. TCI® Full Manual Valve Bodies are an excellent choice for bracket cars, monster trucks and virtually any off-road competition vehicle where a transbrake is either not legal or not desired.

Transbrake Solenoids The TCI® solenoid motor is only 1.025" long, the most compact, space-saving solenoid available. The conical face design is able to handle higher forces than standard flat-faced solenoids with .180" to .200" strokes. The high-efficiency, precision wound coil maximizes the amount of copper in the allowable space for maximum force, and the two-wire set-up ensures a good quality ground can be established. • Precision-ground steel shaft with bronze bushing, shaft-pinned nut and unique lip seal prevent fluid leakage while minimizing drag • Shaft-pinned nut for secure placement
Transbrake Switches • Switches can be used for transbrake and RollStop® • Spiral cords allow various mounting locations • All microswitches are injection molded to spiral cord to prevent wire separation |

Powerglide Dual Ring Servo
Kit For greater durability and consistent performance in the Powerglide, TCI® has created the Dual Ring Servo Kit which recieves hydraulic oil in order to tighten the bands around the transmission drum to prevent it from turning. This kit uses two Teflon sealing rings in place of the original single design or dual rubber ring designs offered elsewhere. This doubles sealing effectiveness and prevents excessive leakage which can reduce band apply force. This feature also reduces vehicle rocking when the transbrake is applied and provides additional stability in low gear. Perfect for the Super Class racer seeking positive transbrake engagement when staging.

Die Cast Deep Aluminum Pan for Powerglide Transmissions This deep pan is the first of its kind with revolutionary features that every high performance automotive enthusiast will appreciate. Inside, the pan incorporates patent-pending, heat dissipating “inverted-dimples” that increase the surface area inside the pan. These unique “heat suckers” pull heat toward the exterior of the pan – ultimately lowering the temperature of the fluid. On the outside of the pan, exterior fins are slightly angled to create a funnel effect which increases the air speed across the surface. Finally, the pan's exterior is black powder coated to absorb heat from the interior and further lower operating temperatures |
| The die cast design is 1 ½ lbs lighter than the industry standard sand cast version and does not suffer from the porosity issues that plague those pans. No volume is lost with the lighter design – in fact, the TCI® Die Cast Deep Aluminum Pan for Powerglides holds two extra quarts of fluid over standard designs. |
|
• Angled exterior fin design increases airflow speed to pull heat away from the pan • Patent-pending, heat dissipating dimples increase the surface area and remove heat • Holds two extra quarts of fluid and weighs 1 ½ lbs. lighter than traditional sand cast pans • O-ring style drain plug eliminates leakage issues
 |

Maximizer™ Torque Converter
|
Maximizer™ Towing The fuel-efficient TCI® Maximizer™ Towing Converter is designed to reduce the slippage found in all non lock-up torque converters. The Maximizer™ series enables transmissions to run cooler and reduces engine RPM at highway speeds. In addition to the resulting fuel mileage increases, the Maximizer ™ Towing Converter also lowers transmission temperature by as much as 20° F. This is an excellent choice for motor homes, tow vehicles and other heavy load applications. Stall speeds range from 1000 to 1200 RPM. Maximizer™ Street These torque converters have some of the same performance characteristics as our standard Saturday Night Special® series for street applications, but they are built with extra reinforcement, tougher turbine splines and thicker mounting surfaces to withstand the additional load and vibrations put through the drivetrain by a modified off-road 4x4 truck. By providing additional stall, trucks will see better initial takeoff and will not lug the engine when using big tires. Special attention is made to match the converter to the power range of most trucks that do double duty as an off-road and daily driver. Improved rear wheel horsepower and elapsed times are a result. Stall speeds range from 1600 to 2000 RPM. |

Heavy-Duty RV Transmissions This is the perfect transmission for your two-wheel drive towing and heavy-load trucking needs that range from 450 to 550 HP, depending on the application. These units have valve body modifications that increase cooler flow and improve shift characteristics without the harsh feel of a racing style transmission. When used with a TCI® Heavy-Duty Towing Torque Converter, you can be sure the transmission package is tailored to provide long, dependable service and maximum fuel economy. The optional low gear package offered with each of our RV units is a great addition for trucks pulling heavy loads. Maximizer™ 4x4 Transmissions The Maximizer™ 4x4 Transmissions bring performance to your four-wheel drive. A four-wheel drive application is especially tough on an automatic transmission, and the addition of bigger tires makes the job even harder. The Maximizer™ series is designed to be as tough as your truck, because each transmission is built with the best components available and programmed to provide crisp shifts time and time again for applications ranging from 450 to 550 HP. Full Manual Competition 4x4 Transmissions Whether you drive a sand dragger, hill climber or tractor puller, TCI® has the transmission for you. The competition line of 4x4 transmissions is built following the same specifications used when building thousands of drag race units and are designed for 600+ HP applications. These units are also available with Transbrake Valve Bodies. CUSTOM BUILT TRANSMISSIONS Most popular listings are shown in the chart, but if you have special requirements, please contact us and we can custom build a competition unit to your specifications. |

GM 700R4 Heavy-Duty RV Transmission Package
|
TCI® Maximizer™, RV & Towing Transmission Packages Heavy-duty Maximizer™ Transmission Packages combine specifically matched components to produce a firm, steady shift that is perfect for trucks, RVs, 4x4s and towing applications. Each component-matched TCI® Maximizer™ Transmission Package contains a TCI® transmission and torque converter, universal transmission cooler and three gallons of premium TCI® Max Shift™ Performance Transmission Fluid. Each transmission and torque converter were individually Triple Tested and certified to ensure that you receive the best possible package for your application. Maximizer™ Towing Packages were designed to be used in applications ranging from 450 to 550 HP. Each transmission includes a valve body that has been individually tested to ensure proper shifting and correct alignment, while the transmission itself was hydraulic and dyno tested. The torque converter has also been tested and includes upgraded parts, including furnace- brazed fins for increased durability and heavy-duty caged bearings that are much stronger than individual style bearings. Another important feature of the torque converter is improved cooler flow for better cooling and planetary lubrication. Also included in the package is the popular Max Shift™ Transmission Fluid that reduces internal friction and heat build-up (while promoting clutch lock-up) for increased shift quality and life. The premium fluid was developed with ultrapure base oils that resist viscosity breakdown and extend fluid change intervals while exceeding Mercon® and Dexron® performance specifications. Most important, Max Shift™ contains exclusive friction eliminating, anti-foaming and extreme heat additives. No other additives or treatments are needed. Simply pour in Max Shift™ for an instant upgrade to your new Maximizer™ RV & Towing Package.

Maximizer™ Transmission
Kits TCI® Maximizer™ Transmission Kits are transmission overhaul kits that are ideally suited for off-road, towing and other severeduty applications. Kits cover most of the popular automatic transmissions found in light and medium duty applications. Each kit contains gaskets, seals, premium-quality frictions, steels, a high volume filter, and even a drain plug kit. Also included is a Valve Body Performance Improvement Kit that delivers a good, solid shift suitable for towing applications. Valve body recalibration modifications provide "crisper" shifts without the "harsh" feel that you often find in kits designed for racing. Durability is improved as there is less heat generated per shift than is associated with the OEM shift characteristics. The Maximizer™ Kits also increase the torque capacity of transmissions to make towing or off roading a breeze.

Maximizer™ Conversion
Kits TCI® offers many different types of conversion kits that enable interchange of various styles of GM transmissions. This is particularly useful for heavy-load vehicles that may benefit from a heavier-duty transmission for dependability. All kits provide the necessary adapter plate, output shaft and hardware required for installation. Kits will require some degree of driveline modification.  |
