I have read somewhere before not to use b&m trick shift in our trannies. This is on a 2001 and a tci verter. What would be the best fluid to use? thanks in advance

I used Mobil 1 synthetic. No complaints. I believe I read somewhere on here NOT to use Trick Shift in a TCI converter. I'd do some searches.

what dose the mobil 1 cost ? is it better than the trick shift ?

what would go wrong by using the trick shift ?

The mobil 1 is about $5 a quart. I believe the B&M will make something slip in the converter.

How long did it take for your converter to make those noises? I have original trick shift (I think they make a synthetic too) in my fbodytrans stage 2 4l60e with a Yank PT 4000. But have only driven it like 2500 miles. I have ran it a few times, but haven't noticed anything yet. Thanks.

I had the converter in for maybe a week, before I went on
that trip, so maybe a hundred miles plus Florida to North
Carolina - call it 500 tops.

It's all about the TCC lining material I believe; the TCI said
it's got some kind of carbon clutch. B&M Trick Shift is old
stuff and probably only checked out against old-school
organic clutch materials and anything newer is just "take
your chances".

My problems were slip/squeal under apply and part throttle
loads where the TCC pressure I believe is being softened
up and the clutch isn't seated hard. So it chatters /
squeals. The DexIII still has it slipping but it slips quiet
and less, less early. Later DexIII formulations are set to
meet new TCC chatter specifications according to one
bottle I read (Castrol).
