    hi, my name is mike, i ran across your forum by way of troubleshooting the c-4. my c-4 is tci with the streetfighter kit. i nailed it from a dead stop , 1st. gear was fine , 2nd gear was good, as i went into drive it was as if i just went into nuetral. there was no bang , grinding or anything to make me believe i had broken anything.park is the only thing working.i am running a beefed up 302 with about 380 horses.i checked the linkage( outside) it was okay .i pulled the pan no metal just a few little shivers as usual.if someone can shed some light i would really appreciate it.

    thanks for the reply, i really appreciate it. i spoke with a tranny guy today and he said it might be the torque converter. when i built this truck i put just an off the shelf converter, maybe thats all it is.i will have the tranny out by tomorrow, and check the converter to see if thats it.thanks again.

    Is the tranny still under warranty?

    I thought the TCI trans came with a decent warranty...

    well, i removed the tranny today and cant tell head from tales about the converter.i drained most of the fluid out and shook it and you can hear something rattling around.guess i will take it to a tranny guy.yes ,it did have a warranty for 90 days after purchase.its almost a year old now.
