Well, the more I think about it, I should have kept the four speed
transmission. This "TCI" Street Fighter automatic is getting to be the
transmission from "hell"!
Everything was "pichee keen" until the torque converter sprung a leak. I'm
on the THIRD torque converter and that issue was resolved. Problems ever
since.......different issues of course.
I purchased a used STOCK valve body, installed it, got GREAT oil pressure ( 60 PSI ) but
the car would NOT move in forward gear.
Sent the original valve body back to TCI for testing. They claim it had a
bad throttle valve spring, wrong spring, and tested the unit, cleaned it
up and returned it to me.
I reinstalled the unit, got 50 PSI ( the truck VB produces 60 PSI ). The
car moves forward but one has to give it a LOT of gas and get around 2,000
RPM to get the car going. After the trans warms up, it looses line
pressure.
I hope it is NOT the clutches. I will most likely have to take the
transmission out again and this time rebuild it.
I have a feeling that the bad torque converter caused me to ruin the
clutches.
SO MUCH FUN....................LOL
