Victory!
Sorry I had to vent some excitement somewhere. I finally got my TCI street fighter tranny situated and leak free. It has been a PITA to get the pan to stop leaking...or should I say pouring.
The TCI trans works very well. Very nice shifting and it isn't violent like some said. I am happy with the transmission. Just not with the headaches I have had. It has been a rough trip.
BTW I used a b&m changeover kit and a 9'' tailshaft transmission. No install issues. Just leaking issues.
Also...in my dumb state I thought my 700r4 gears would work. Installed the drive gear and then stuck the trans in the car. Finally found the driven housing and noticed there was no way the gear would work. Well I left the 700r4 gear inplace because I was told it wouldnt even touch. It touches. But my speedo is WAY off now lol. It shows about 90mph at 45ish. I am positive I will max the speedo out at 70. I may have to disconnect the cable.
