TCI 350 manual reverse

[wezeles]

hey guys im more than likely picking this up my buddy has one never been driven and he is in a bind for money, its the TCI full manual reverse patter trans... my question is what all has to be done to switch this over to an automatic? the only reason i want it auto again is for better streetability, i have a B&M vacume shift controller so i can still change my rpm setpoint where i need it, i figured if it didnt cost to much this would be a good trans to replace mine with being beefed up and made for high line pressures and its lighter than my 400.. i know its going to need a kickdown cable and vacume controll but will this style valve body even work with them?

no one? ive had reverse valve bodys before just never had a full manual, just curious if this is possibal or not... i still intend to get it eaither way it would just be alot eiasier to switch over before i put it in...

if its full manual then the adjustable modulator doesnt matter, since it wont shift on its own anyways, right?

thats the thing im not sure... is it just a reverse valve body with a modulator not installed forcing you to shift yourself? or is the valve body setup so it cant even accept one? im not sure never messed with one before, i think im just gonna leave it alone get use to shifting again...

good news is i dont have to worry about making it to the meet and greet now got a complete motor and trans brand new from him for a steal, ive already heard it run and its a nice beast for a flat tappet motor... and now i can finnish up my roller block right and not rush it just to drive...

The Valve Body Is Set Up To Shift Manualy Also.. If Its A Manual Reverse Patturn.. I Hope That Tci Trans Aren't As Weak As There Converters.. Good Luck With The Trans Man.. Justin..

ive heard decent things about there trans, and its the super street fighter strongest 350 they make so im sure it will handle the abuse i give it... after calling them i did find out the only way to change it back to auto is to get the auto valve body so ill just shift it... its one of there highest rated trans at 800hp using alot of red eagle parts so i trust it...
