The transmission valve body is the brain
of the transmission. Often itis called the control valve. The
valve body, like the transmission, has been changed and updated through
the years. We select and use only the valve body that will provide you
with the best performance and service. All TCI® valve bodies are 100%
quality checked for proper function and, where applicable, proper
operating pressures on a dedicated valve body test machine.
We offer three types of modified valve
bodies.
StreetFighter®
Series - Manual/Automatic
Our
manual/automatic valve body is designed for the street and strip
performance car owner. It is the same valve body used in our StreetFighter®
transmission series.

Our
competition valve body for maximum performance and quick elapsed
times in a racing application. By controlling the valve body
only through manual means we can produce quicker shift timing
and are able to run higher line pressures than possible with an
automatic shift transmission. Higher line pressure makes it
harder for clutches to slip under high loads. Remember, with a
full manual you will have to make every shift, for these units
do not shift on their own. A great choice for bracket cars,
monster trucks, and virtually any off-road competition vehicle
where a Trans-Brake is either not legal or not desired.

TCI® Full Manual Valve Body With Engine Braking For Turbo 400
Making the right shift at the right time is critical to getting the most performance from your transmission. The new TCI® TH400 Full Manual Shift Valve Body with Low Gear Engine Braking is the best way to deliver quick shift response times and clean neutral shifting. Best of all, the full engine braking in low gear is perfect for rock crawling and 4x4 applications where utilizing the engine’s compression drag to help traverse the most extreme terrains is a useful feature.
The TCI® TH400 Full Manual Valve Body with Low Gear Engine Braking is the perfect set-up not only for heavy off road usage, but is great for hot street/strip cars where a forward shift pattern valve body ensures reliable transmission gear selection. As with all TCI® valve bodies, installation is a simple bolt-in procedure for any GM TH400 transmission with all necessary parts included and performance is guaranteed due to the rigorous TCI® quality control standards.

Trans-Brake
Series
Our
Trans-Brake Series allows you to achieve maximum torque
converter stall and provides for quicker and more consistent
reaction times and 60 foot times. This is due to the Trans-Brake
action which prevents an engine's torque load from being transmitted through the
drive train prior to the launch. The
Trans-Brake acts in much the same manner as a manual clutch.
Once the Trans-Brake is engaged, the vehicle can neither roll
forward nor backward and as you press on the accelerator the
engine can rpm as high as the torque converter stall. Once the
Trans-Brake is released, the power is transmitted immediately to
the rear tires in much the same manner as a manual clutch but
with the parts saving advantage of the torque converter's shock absorbing action.
Aluminum Powerglide Valve Bodies
These Trans-brake
Series valve bodies allow you to achieve maximum torque
converter stall and provide quicker, more consistent reaction
times and 60-foot times.
These new kits offer exciting features
like:
Reduced weight
- 5 lbs. lighter than OEM cast iron valve body.
High Flow
filter - reduces strain on pump
Redesigned
pump inlet for reduced cavitation
CNC-machined
to exacting tolerances for better sealing against leaks.

Trans-Brake Solenoids
When
you come to the line to make that all-important run, the last thing you
should be thinking about is whether you purchased the best Trans-Brake
solenoid available. With the purchase of TCI®'s new Trans-Brake
solenoid, you'll know you have state-of-the-art engineering
incorporating such features as a precision-ground steel shaft with
bronze bushing, a shaft-pinned nut for secure placement and unique lip
seal to prevent fluid leakage while minimizing mechanical drag. The
TCI® solenoid motor is only 1.025-inches long, the most compact,
space-saving solenoid available. The conical-face design is able to
handle higher forces than standard flat-faced solenoids with 0.180 to
0.200-inch strokes. The high-efficiency, precision wound coil maximizes
the amount of copper in the allowable space for maximum force and the
two-wire set-up assures a good quality ground can be established.
