I was going to get one for my Challenger as it's resto, rebuild it with this TCI kit, anyone used it before? If so any good?
It comes with everything :D It will cost me $187-USD 8)

I got a re-build kit from them the last time I did mine. Some of the parts were better than the B&M kits.

However!
The small ring seals for the input shaft that were supplied were too small and would have caused a big loss of pressure had I not spotted it. I wrote to them to complain and never got a response. Duncan Watts is our UK Mopar trans man and he was good enough to send me some spares.

I suggest you add this book to your shopping list at Amazon.com

Good idea Dave I will look into this, I already have a R/RB Engine book and the resto e-body book so this is to make the set complete. 8)

Don't forget we have a transmission expert here on the board too in the shape of "transman". I am sure he will answer any questions you may have.

Yip I recieved a PM from him he sounds on-to-it. :D
I was basically just seeing what you guys thought of TCI and the kits they sell, doesn't sound to good if they sent a wrong part and worse they don't answer there emails, maybe it was a one off because I've heard so much about there products etc.
I do have another pro Trans guy Chryco who is going to be helping me with the engine build up. :D

Still.........6 months before shes able to be cranked over :cry:
