TCI streetfighter, clutch went out yesterday while driving. It acts like it will partially lock allowing less slip then when unlocked but the rpms only drop by a couple hundred and it will rev very easily.
Temp stays around 160 when warmed up in traffic, when the converter should be locked Im seeing over 100% slip, when I command the silenoid to lock it will not.

Will it hurt anything if the clutch completely fails while its trying to lock?

Who has had a tcc failure while driving?

 

thats going to pump ca ca all through your trans (clutch material) and you wont be having good times with that trans!!!.... get it out of there and get that trans some fresh fluid!!!!

 

My TCI streetfighter lasted a year, then started doing what yours is. About a week later it went out completely and took my built 4l60e with it.

 

Yep, I lost my built 65E 2 yrs ago to the same thing. KA-KA through the whole system.

 

Do you think if I keep it from locking up it will prevent it from taking the tranny with it?

 

Anyone have a shop in the north charlotte area?

 

bout freaking time
both of mine only lasted 5 to 6k miles.

 

Mine went out while driving too. Lasted 12K. I beat the **** out of it at the track then on the way home it was being very touchy locking up and by the time I got home(~50mile drive) it was totally gone. Gotta love TCI quality

 

Hahaha

I guess 32k out of a tiny racing converter in a heavy pig truck is good, I have beat on this thing relentlessly the past 2 years with a good 40 track passes and countless WOT on the road. I got my money worth for less than 400 bucks

Now if my tranny doesnt crap out Ill be set. Its been shifting funny for the past 6 months


Ive decided to put the stocker back in and go with my own grind this time, should be interesting.

 

Had the stock one swapped in yesterday and I have no more idling issues, I have no more KR even with alot more timing, drivability is greatly improved, transmission shifts better.

The gt2-5 222/222 112 is very drivable with the stock stall. It doesnt kick in until 2800 but there is still power down low. Overall Im very suprised, should have done this a long time ago.
Its now a pleasure to drive the truck again. I will never buy another TCI product as long as I live.
