Transbrake woes

[Dave Goob Cook]

Trans King Bob has passed away, I'd be thinking about getting a Coan or Griner valve body, if I were you.

If your using the trans king valve body with the internal shifter your problem on the starting line may be procedural. If you shift the trans via a chip or rev control the trans with the shifter in high it will also shift to high internally on the burnout and if you back up and pull it back to low, guess what, your still in hign gear and you will have no trans brake. You need to back up put the trans in low shift to high and back to low to reset the valve body. Try it. I made this mistake (twice) last time out.

Started out this year with new procedure worked ok until eliminations then right through the lites. Put extra ground from box to body & went over all wiring and it seemed good. Still at a loss any help would be appreciated ..........................

Do you have a timer lock out? On my dedenbear once i let go of the button i have to wait 5 seconds for the lockout to reset. is it possible that you are locking yourself out of trans brake after the burnout?

Just a thought

Bob, how is the solenoid grounded? If it isn't already, ground it to a good ground not to the trans pan.

BB just a thought.
