Pro-trans VS McClay metric

[nhramnl]

I experienced the "jump" you're talking about with McClay 200s. Called Scott and he confirmed that his trans brake must "fill" before it will hold absolutely tight. Not the greatest feature in the world, but once you get used to clicking the transbrake button right when you light the second yellow and immediately bringing the RPM up to around 2500, you won't experience the condition again. Having said that, I have never heard anyone that said a 200 and a ProTrans are equal in ET (users always say the ProTrans is quicker).

This was an issue with powerglides when I ran the super classes, what we would do is wire the line loc into the transbrake so that when you engaged the transbrake it would activate the front line loc to stop it from rolling.
