New patented high pressure cleaning solution from TCI® eliminates metal shavings and sludge from new and rebuilt transmissions. The Max Shift™ High Pressure Transmission Cooler Cleaner & Flush from TCI® doesn’t rely on gravity like other conventional transmission flushing devices.

Sue Vanderbilt in a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville “Baroness;" the show car that she styled for the Feminine Show.
