    I purchased, 1 year ago, Cash, a SSF 700R4 with the High Stall TC to go with, probably paid close to $5000 with all the bells and whistles, thinking to myself....yah, TCI "quality controls" their products...ok, so, GM Dealership, certified mechanic installs a brand new ZZ4 Crate Engine, along with Brand New TCI Tranny, and Brand New Rear, Brand New Exhaust Front to rear Dual with H-Pipe, and the very first day I drove it home....Leak Tranny pissing fluid all over hells creation...great, BP would be proud of me, Thanks.
    Who is to blame?
    I called GM told them my prob, they said, well, just tighten the oil pan bolts a little tighter...I couldn't believe the advise I was getting...2500 miles later, tranny is fried, no forward gears no reverse...

    Brought back to GM after fighting with them for 4 mnths, they said they would look at it...took the tranny apart, said they couldn't find anything wrong with it....put it back together, reinstalled it...

    I have been driving it for maybe 1000 miles, and it is leaking again.

    I have called TCI and wrote TCI about my probs, but they say it is not their problem...

    GM tells me it is not their problem....

    Looks like I got snookered again.... Paid Cash for something with your hard earned money, I don't make a lot of money so I waited a long time to get the tranny/engine/rear combo I wanted....

    GMC I am pissed off at, and TCI has not really been honourable either...

    Save your money and aggrivation, go buy your Transmission Somewhere else...

    I think there is one called a "RAPTOR" same tranny, but even better....

    Oh, and don't get GM to do any work on your vehicle...go to Local Mechanics

    I got sick of leaky turbo 400 and put a Muncie in my car. It shifts when I tell it to not when it feels ready no leaks. And it sounds really cool when I tap the throttle on down shifts.
