The first step in removing the cooler is to disconnect the transmission fluid lines at the cooler. There will be two lines connected to the cooler, an input and an output.

ASE's mission is to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service professionals. Until the early 1970s, consumers had no way to distinguish between incompetent and competent mechanics. In response to this need, the independent, non-profit National Institute for (ASE) was established in 1972.

This is the mechanical section containing technical information and detailed photos of the modifications done to a 1971 Chevrolet C-10 pickup truck. High Performance Turbo Hydramatic 350 Automatic Transmission. The Pro Super Kit is a super rebuild kit that contains gaskets, seals, clutches, steels, forward bands, adjustable modulator, high volume filter ( the filter has a larger surface area to assure good fluid flow with superior particle filtering ) and Trans-Scat valve body modifications which eliminates the OEM transmission slippage and lag and provides a harder, more positive shift. The Trans-Scat components contained in the TCI Pro Super Kit vastly improves the 2nd and 3rd gear shift, improves performance, improves fuel economy and helps extend clutch and band life. The TCI Pro Super Kit contains the same parts and pieces used to build the TCI StreetFighter transmission. TCI's StreetFighter valve body installed in the Turbo 350 transmission of the 1971 C-10 gives better control of the transmission while improving overall performance.

These are the same valve bodies installed by TCI in their hard hitting StreetFighter series transmissions. What I like about this valve body is that it has the option of either full automatic or full manual control of the C-10's Turbo 350 trans. For the full automatic option when the shift selector is placed in Drive ( D ) the valve body allows the transmission to shift automatically at the OEM predetermined RPM shift points, albeit the TCI valve body automatic shifts are much more positive ( firmer ) than the stock transmission valve body. Conversely for full manual operation, the transmission can be placed into the lower gears ( 2 ) and or ( 1 ) and will hold that selection until it is manually shifted out of that position regardless of what the RPM is.

The installation of the TCI cast aluminum deep sump transmission pan adds an additional 2 quart capacity to the Turbo 350 transmission of the 1971 C-10. The TCI deep sump pan is designed with exterior cooling fins which dissipates the transmission fluid heat faster than the OEM designed transmission pan and the TCI cast aluminum pan provides additional strength and rigidity to the transmission case over the stamped steel OEM pan. No modifications were necessary to the stock dip stick as the TCI pan includes a fluid pickup extension along with a magnetic drain plug. PHOTO M13: CLICK PHOTO TO ENLARGE.

Note that the the. Exhaust wrap has been installed on the exhaust pipes along with thermal barrier material within the transmission hump of the floorboard of the truck. Not to point out the obvious but one can surmise from the photos of the under carriage posted on this web site that this truck does not get driven in the rain if at all possible. Even though it could be a daily driver, the C10 is really a weekend fun machine and being that the build of this truck was not a frame-off, one can plainly see that this C10 is fairly clean underneath for being a weekend driver. The main reason for this of course is that there are no oil / fluid leaks with the mechanicals and, as I said, the truck is not driven in foul weather.

When I took the truck out for a road test after installing the transmission, the speedometer was reading 25 MPH too fast and, of course, this is a condition that required correction and it was not going to be an easy task. However, thanks to the people at PATC Transmissions in Bossier, LA, this arduous task was made just a little easier. In the case of this truck, the new Drive Gear and the Driven Gear I purchased from PATC equaled 10 and 22 teeth respectively. Due to the tire size on the truck, this was the most we could go as far as internal speedometer gearing in the Turbo 350 because of the limited availability of Drive and Driven gears available. This new combination of gears now put the speedometer 13 MPH too fast. The folks at PATC recommended that I install a Ratio Adapter with a slow down rate of 17.6% to solve the problem, and this is what I did and the adapter is shown in PHOTO M 13 H.
