I put my TH-400 in 2nd range at the stripe (no braking) and let the engine idle. Someone scared me out of taking it to neutral as I always had done previously.

I don't like the engine braking, because free load rpms are always bad, in my opinion.

dave----is the no engine braking in second gear a special built in feature or does that exist in every 400 ???

read the engine braking section on the Turbo Action website and let me know what you think.......it gives a list of transmissions and whether or not they have engine braking.....is that for all transmissions or just turbo action ????
