TCI® Transmissions
Sizzler®
Transmissions
APPLICATION CHART
The
economical TCI® Sizzler® is ideal for vehicles that are powered by
engines producing up to 300 horsepower. Perfect for a mild daily
driver or a Street Rod. Equipped with a TCI® automatic valve body
with a Valve Body Improver Kit, it allows you to achieve a firmer, yet
not too harsh shift in the vehicle and remains fully automatic. Retains
the stock shift pattern. For the system to operate properly, all
throttle linkage, vacuum lines and kick-down components must be
connected.
The
TCI® Sizzler® transmission features: special clutches and
bands, an improved lubrication system, chrome-plated, TCI-logo transmission pan, increased
thrust capacity, more torque capacity with less slippage, as well as
being TCI® factory blueprinted, inspected and dyno tested. TCI® has long
set the standard which others are judged by, and they are the name you
can trust for dependable performance, day after day, mile after mile.
StreetFighter®
Transmissions
APPLICATION CHART
The TCI®
StreetFighter® transmission is
tough enough to withstand the rigors of even the toughest street
machines. It is ideal for vehicles powered by engines producing 450
horsepower with a non-supercharged system using pump gasoline. Equipped
with our 100% tested, Manual/Automatic valve body, most units allow you to manually shift
the vehicle into each gear change or, by placing it in the drive
position, remain fully automatic. In either mode, you get a racetrack
shift that bangs through the gears and shaves time off your ET's. When
you use the manual gear selection feature, the StreetFighter® upshifts
and downshifts right when you move the lever, with no lag or governor
override. When you select the normal drive position, the transmission retains
positive, automatic shifts for the ease of driving you look for in an automatic
transmission.
The
TCI®
StreetFighter® transmission features: special clutches and
bands, an improved lubrication system, new sprags/roller clutches, chrome-plated,
TCI®-logo transmission pan, increased
thrust capacity, higher line pressure for extra firm shifts &
greater torque capacity with less slippage, as well as
being TCI® factory blueprinted, inspected and dyno tested.
Super StreetFighter™
Transmissions
APPLICATION CHART
The TCI®
Super StreetFighter™ transmission bridges the gap between our
StreetFighter® series and our full Competition series transmissions. It is
intended for normally aspirated vehicles powered by engines producing up
to 600
horsepower. Like our StreetFighter® units, these are equipped
with our 100% tested, Manual/Automatic valve body. That means that most units allow you to manually shift
the vehicle into each gear change or, by placing it in the drive
position, remain fully automatic. In either mode, you get a racetrack
shift that bangs through the gears and shaves time off your ET's. When
you use the manual gear selection feature, the Super StreetFighter™ upshifts
and downshifts right when you move the lever, with no lag or governor
override. When you select the normal drive position, the transmission retains
positive, automatic shifts for the ease of driving you look for in an automatic
transmission.
Typical
TCI® Super StreetFighter™ transmission features are Red Eagle® clutches,
Kolene® treated steel plates, Red Eagle®-lined, extra-wide Powerbands™,
larger diameter servo assemblies, an improved lubrication system, new sprags/roller
clutches (upgraded in certain models), enhanced hard parts where
applicable, chrome-plated, TCI®-logo transmission pan, increased
thrust capacity, higher line pressure for extra firm shifts &
greater torque capacity with less slippage, as well as
being TCI® factory blueprinted, inspected and dyno tested.

Triple
Tested Quality
We go the extra mile to ensure your
transmission is superior in both form and function.
Beginning with a
careful inspection of the transmission case and
components that will be
used, we replace stock parts with high performance bands and components
where applicable. We increase fluid flow, lubrication system and thrust
capacity. Problematic hard parts are replaced with stronger components,
many of which we fabricate ourselves at our in-house machining centers.
Valve bodies are completely remanufactured and 100% 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 rock.

Things you should know...
 |
A TCI transmission and torque
converter is a bolt-in operation in most cases. Be sure to closely
review the
application charts to help ensure proper fit. In case of
custom and unusual applications, it is wise to contact our technical
line 662-224-8972 for a part number recommendation. For questions or
comments, use our tech fax at 662-224-8644 or e-mail
us |
 |
Due to the many differences among car models, some
TCI® transmissions do not come with a shift lever or linkage. It is
advisable to retain and use the original shift lever. |
 |
Exchanging transmissions may cause the speedometer
to read differently. It may be necessary for you to change,
speedometer gears for your application. |
 |
Transmissions do not come with dipstick or
crossmember mount. |
 |
Transmission pan bolts may loosen
during shipment. Be sure to check torque of pan bolts during
installation. |
Torqueflite Notes:
 |
Beginning in 1978 for Chrysler and
1979 for AMC a lock-up torque converter was used in many
transmissions. You cannot interchange a lock-up converter for a
non-lock converter. |
 |
When changing to an aftermarket torque
converter it may be necessary to replace the OEM flexplate and
mounting bolts. |
Ford AOD Notes:
 |
Due to the wide variety of OEM shift
levers, you may be required to transfer the shift lever originally
used with your vehicle to your new transmission. Contact
us
for assistance. |
Ford C4 Notes:
 |
1965-69 applications can use the TCI StreetFighter®
transmission by using a 1970 & later 26-spline
torque converter with the transmission. |
 |
All C4 transmissions are shipped
minus bellhousing due to many different applications. Contact
us for assistance if
you require a bellhousing prior to ordering. |
Ford C6 Notes:
 |
When ordering please reference if
existing transmission has a shift lever which points up or down. |
GM 700R4 (4L60) Notes:
 |
30-spline transmissions can be
installed in the 1984 & earlier vehicles by using 30 spline
torque converter with the transmission. |
 |
All lock-up TCI® 700R4 transmissions have
the TCI® universal wiring kit (part # 376600) installed and may be
wired independent of the vehicle computer. This also allows for easy
retrofit into earlier non 700R4 equipped applications. |
 |
Not a replacement for the 4L60E
application which started production in 1993.
|
GM 4L60E Notes:
 |
Due to the wide variation in
configurations from year-to-year & model-to-model, it is
recommended that you contact
us directly for assistance before placing an order with a
distributor. |
 |
Among the items we'll need to verify
are year model, case style (1-piece or 2-piece), tailhousing style,
etc. |
