Hello wadesdad & Naja,

Funny you guys should bring that C6 stuff up!

While all the distributor gear crap was going on and the engine was pulled etc., I had to replace my TCI Saturday Night Special converter and have the C-6 rebuilt after only 812 (that's right, eight hundred and twelve) miles.

Guess what? The trans was full of something that looked a bit like bead blasting sand!

Where did it come from? I don't know. I bought the trans from one source and the converter from another. The guy who redid the trans opined that the junk could have come from the failed converter, but could not say for certain.

Education is never free - some just costs more than others.

The car now has an Edge Racing converter which I hope will stand up better. So far the trans seems fine but it only has been 500 miles or so. We'll see.

What's up with TCI???

Regards,

Tom
