I have seen quite a few good things about the TCI unit, only down side is you gotta grind the coating off which is minor

i got my TCI flexplate. I grided around all the bolt holes to help the bolts hold to it. i guess some guys had problems with either their flywheel bolts cmoing loose or converter bolts coming loose due to the paint. so eith sand the paint off around the bolt holes or lightly grid it. Takes 5 mins of your time. I like mine. hasnt cracked or anyhitng. still looks like new just put my new tranny up yesterdayand the flex plate is still looking new
