I buy TCI brushed stainless steel governor covers for the th350 by the dozen from Jeg's; never once failed on me..
I’m pretty dang sure, my brother and I put it together...oh jeeze...10 years ago. I just don’t remember the specifics. I DO remember adding more clutches. I swapped to a 4 speed a couple months after I installed the 904.In the direct drum?
Could you post the link you sent me the one I posted doesn’t seem to work so I deleted itI'm tempted to put together a kit with all rings gaskets and seals; filter, duprene pan gasket, thick thrust washers, all Red Eagle thin clutches, kevlar front band. And maybe pump bushing and direct drum bushing.
Well there's no TCI in my future if that's the way they treat there customers!Once it leaves your shop, you can't be sure that the customer makes sure that the fluid level is maintained. Even without paperwork, I stand behind my builds. Sometimes a customer runs it low or doesn't hook up their kickdown, then I charge for the repair. While I get trans work from hundreds of miles away sometimes; I prefer it be close by. If you order a heavy bulky item online and shipping it is expensive, I would think a warranty would be about worthless. I've repaired several TCI transmission that were still under warranty because it was cheaper to fix them than to ship. TCI is picky about their warranty. There's no "fix it no matter what" with them. For instance; if you break the pump installing it, they won't work on it at all for any amount of money. When people ask me about a warranty, I say, "If I screwed it up the first time, why would you want me working on your transmission again?"
Pishta, it was some of their odd modifications and their technical support provided (or lack there of) after a low mileage failure. We were trying to put their trans back together they way they sold it. No luck getting exact technical help from their on-line support folks so i just built it a proven way and returned it to the owner.What fails in the TCI...go after that components maker. C'mon if the Firestone tires suck and fail on the Explorer, is Ford to blame? Well..maybe. Disclaimer: I own nothing from TCI
At this point I don’t think I will be buying any TCI stuffPishta, it was some of their odd modifications and their technical support provided (or lack there of) after a low mileage failure.

And that speaks volumes about the installer. Cuz IMO that's pretty hard to miss.he bottom friction in the direct wasn't engaged with the splines.
I just bought one of Copes full manual reversed valve body Pro 727s. He is great to work with and HE ONLY DOES MOPAR!Cope?
IMHO what's missing from this thread to achieve your goal of being able to handle 550 horsepower is your intended valve body or shift kit. The best clutches and bands still will not hold without sufficient line pressure and a stock valve body won't get it done. The line pressure is even more important on a 904 because it has less clutch surface area than the 727. I agree with Tony, the vast majority of rebuild kits are made by a handful of companies and they are rebranded.Called TCI tech said the heavy duty 904
Rebuild kit will make tranny handle 550 plus hp
Jegs has it for 250 out the door
