700R4 Constant Pressure Valve Body
TCI 376015 valve bodyThe TCI® 700R4 Constant Pressure Valve Body eliminates the threat of a burned up 700R4 forever by eliminating the danger of transmission failure that results from an improperly installed or adjusted TV cable. In the past, the TV cable adjustment on GM 700R4 transmissions required near-expert mechanical ability. Though the TV cable still needs to be used to set part-throttle shift points, line pressure is fixed at a minimum of 200psi -with no chance of burning up transmission clutch plates due to a low line pressure condition.

Torque Converters

Triple Tested Quality

TCI® strives to produce the best torque converters in the industry. Part of the process involves ensuring that each unit is built to spec. Triple TestedRegardless of what category or price level it may fall into, every TCI® torque converter is Triple Tested during assembly.

Once all the prep work on the component parts has been completed, the impeller is welded to the front cover. Immediately following this process, a pair of dial indicators are employed on a rotating table to verify that the impeller body and pump drive hub remain true.

Each unit is then pressurized and subjected to a leak test to confirm the integrity of all the weld seams. Lastly, each unit is computer balanced to reduce annoying and potentially damaging drivetrain vibrations that would occur from an unbalanced torque converter. That's Triple Tested so you can be confident you're getting a torque converter that's ready to roll.

373900 TCI Beast 700R4/4L60E Sun Shell700R4/4L60E/4L65E Beast Sun Shell

Have you ever suddenly lost reverse, 2nd and 4th gears in your street machine? You're not the only one as the OEM sun shell assembly is a known weak point in the 700R4/4L60E. SPX Filtran has retooled the sun shell and improved it by making it thicker and revised the splined area that is prone to fatigue failure in the OEM parts. If you've got a heavy vehicle or an excess of 450 horsepower, the TCI® 373900 Beast sun shell is a cheap insurance policy against failure.

The 700R4 servo kit also eliminates the common 2nd to 3rd flare problem. This kit can be easily installed without removing the transmission or draining the fluid. Comes complete with required seals and o-rings. Note: This servo assembly is already factory installed in C4 & C5 Corvettes and 1993 - Up LT1/LS1 equipped F-body vehicles.

TCI®'s newest addition to our extensive line of high performance components, these two servo kits will enhance shift quality and extend durability of any 700R4/4L60E/4L65E. Since the servo applies the 2-4 band in 2nd gear, releases it in 3rd and reapplies it in 4th, the servo plays a vital role in the operation of your transmission.

TCI® 376005 kit (left) includes two CNC-machined, 6061-T6 billet aluminum pistons, seals and hardware necessary to give your servo 35% more 2nd gear apply area than the commonly used, stock Corvette-style servo. The 376006 kit (right) contains a large diameter 4th apply piston and matching cover, also machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum. The piston utilizes a lip seal to improve fluid retention and the increased surface area will assure that the band is held tight under the most severe conditions. 

Easy to install with transmission in the vehicle. Kits may be used individually or combined to create the ultimate servo for your 700R4/4L60E/4L65E transmission.

TV Boost Valve for 700R4 & 2004R (0.500" diameter)
374301 .500" TV Boost ValveReplaces stock valve in all applications. The largest diameter OEM TV boost valve is only 0.471". After installation you will see pressure increase over all stock valves. Great for applications ranging from stock to 450 horsepower.

This valve may be coupled with the 0.400" diameter Low/Rev boost valve below for improved line pressure in the Manual First and Second ranges. This valve fit all 2004R & 700R4/4L60 (not 4L60E) transmissions. Easy to install with transmission in the vehicle.

Depending on what pressure regulator spring is used, these valve assemblies will generate maximum line pressures from 275-300 psi. across the board.

The 0.570" diameter boost valve has 41% more surface area than the largest OEM TV valve, raising pressure in Drive and Overdrive ranges. The 0.400" Low/Rev boost valve has a whopping 78% increase in surface area over the largest OEM counterpart! That'll bolster line pressure in the Manual First and Second ranges.

These valves fit all 2004R & 700R4/4L60 (not 4L60E) transmissions. Easy to install with transmission in the vehicle.

374420 4L60E Boost ValveOperating line pressure is the lifeblood of any automatic transmission by providing the clamping force on the clutches and bands. Oftentimes, increasing line pressure is a requirement when increasing driveline output. TCI®'s new 4L60E boost valve assembly provides you the means of elevating your line pressure while also addressing wear issues that may actually have your transmission running at a lower level of pressure than GM intended!

Features:

Larger valve diameter over stock which yields 10-15% higher line pressure
O-rings on boost sleeve which prevent loss of boost signal pressure
Sleeve constructed from Alcoa Deltalloy 4032 & valve is hard-coat anodized which prevents wear between the mating parts
