My recommendation is to click the engine "off" and not "Engine Brake"; you are not driving a Diesel truck.

See post #6, What about a small block that run 8,100-8,400rpm past the lights with aluminum rods and a TH400 automatic that is a transbrake so it is a reverse valve body so you cant put it in Neutral
