Default TCI verter in... is this a problem?

I just got my streetfighter in from summit (like 2 days to ship ) and I picked it up, and gave it a little bitty shake. There seems to be a little bitty rattle noise when I do this. Is this normal?

I want to be completely sure b/c I don't want to install a bad verter, it not work.. and then hear them say "You messed up the install, its not warrantied."

Any thoughts?

This is just picking it up and shaking it and it rattles? Have you tried calling TCI? I'd wait to hear from them first. Just to be sure.

I was like "Damn, you already got it in?!"

My 2600 has a small tick/tap when I shake it around.

I had the same question when I first got my Yank only to find out it was normal. When I blew up the tranny and sent it back to yank for a rebuild, when I got it back it did it too.

That's different. Never even thought to try and shake mine around. I just put a couple of qts of fluid in and threw it on.

that's correct, without fluid in them they will rattle if shaken. with fluid in them, they are just messy if you shake them.
