Smitty,

I would put the button back on that you were using when the trans was working right. I have tried some different types of switches. If they dont realease clean it will cause the brake to act up. Did you say you are using a harrington switch. They have only a little movement until it activtes the brake. I have used this type of switch before with good results. I have a terminator button now. Jay Slane still uses the harrington switch with good results. Check your switch with an ohm meter and a volt meter to see if it is realeasing cleanly. Hope to see you a the next SSSA race.

Thanks Mike, yes I am using a Harrington switch and it seems really sensitive. I am going to do some back tracking after I come from NC and see what the issue is. I hope it is only the switch or wiring issue as I am anxious to see how I stack up against the 327. Your car looked real good this weekend from what I have heard, glad it worked out for you.
