Trans brake Is there such thing as a trans brake for a 4L60E. Am I the only guy with an LS1 that can't brake stall past 2100 rpms? I need to stall my Sy3500 converter higher to get the best short time as Yank suggested. They also told me to switch out my hawk pads in back to something a little softer...hopefully that will do the trick. If not, I'm screwed and I better hope you can get a trans brake for a 4L60E.

Re: Trans brake "Is there such thing as a trans brake for a 4L60E."
Nope. Not that I'm aware. If there is one, it's a well kept secret, and it'd likely cost more than a TH400 swap.
"Am I the only guy with an LS1 that can't brake stall past 2100 rpms?"
Nope. I've got a PT3400 on a turbo car and my rear brakes won't hold more than 2200.
"They also told me to switch out my hawk pads in back to something a little softer...hopefully that will do the trick."
I'm running Carbotech P+ pads. They're soft, and they don't hold any better. Have you tried the e-brake with the foot brake? I haven't yet, but it's something I've been mulling over.

Re: Trans brake Yank made one once upon a time, but I've heard through the grapevine that it was discontinued. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but the rumor was that there was some consistency problems with it.

Re: Trans brake I thought about holding the parking brake as well but I'm not sure I want to be the first to try it. I would think my car would brake stall higher than yours. You must have a ton of torque down low. I'm basically stock.
I also thought about a proportioning valve to bias more pressure to my rear brakes. Have you heard of that?
