Re: TCC valve fix question

With that in mind, I'm wondering if I should replace the torque converter too, or just the TCC kit?

I had the same problem on the same truck and decided to go with the replacement valve body like the TSB suggested (I am not saying the TCC kit is a bad idea - it must work or nobody would buy it).

My point is that I did not have to do anything to the torque converter and my problem went away. Shifts like butter and no more P1870 code.
