iam looking to get my self a th400 with transbrake in a few weeks
my question is my car at the moment is running a two step as well as a line lock
trans is a t56 which is going to be change for a th400
could i still use the line lock and two step with transbrake
and how would the transbrake be wired up with linelock




dont flame me down guys .iam new to autos

 

I couldn't begin to explain how to wire it up, but yes you can have the LL,2 step and TB all activate at the same time with one button. I had to use a one way diode to keep the power from back traveling when burning out and just using the LL.

 

You can have all 3, but the brake should eliminate the need for a LL at launch

 

The trans brake will hold first gear and reverse at the same time and will not allow the car to move untill the trans brake has been released. Make sure you install a large trans cooler. Also when your at the tree let the other call stage first and you second when your on the brake a lot of heat will be created.

 

I know of quite a few racers that also activate the LL with the TB to help prevent the car from rocking in/out of the beams when staging. When we run our heads up classes and the other guy goes in quick, you have no choice but to roll in, grab the bulbs and set up for the lauch in a single fluid motion or you'll be way late on the tree. Some brands of tranbrakes in certain transmissions TH350/TH400s allow quite a bit of rocking once the TB is activated so the LL can serve a purpose in some cases. Our Circle D glide locks up solid upon activation, but our previous transmission didn't.

 

keep the line lock.
you may need it depending on band adjustment, servo ,and also pump pressure.
all will cause a rocking issue.
