Default New TH400 Automatic Shift Transbrake

Our parts are finally machined. The TH400 automatic shift transbrake is here.

We have been getting a lot of inquiries about these so we made them.

Any interest in a PCM controlled TH400?

I will be hand making the first few units so delivery may be slow. I have to hand drill the seperator plates and they have almost all the stock passages.

Pricing will be $250 for the complete VB.

I am working on new billet aluminum VB's for the TH400, and may make a PCM contolled version, but I think I can do a PCM shifted VB with transbrake using the stock casting that works off the 4L60E strategy.

They're ready to go, we are just having trouble with our supplier on getting more solenoids. It took forever just to get 3. The other annoyance is that its the same solenoid as the 4L60E transbrake, so that's slowing us down from putting that into production as well. We're working on getting more than several at a time

I'm assuming this is for a standard forward shift pattern?

Yes,

We have one operational in our test car.

The solenoids must be coming from overseas, there is a 6-8 week wait on them, no matter who I use for a supplier. I was able to get 3 here recently. The initial piece I used to test because I could get my hands on it "NOW" was a 24 volt version. So in the test car we had to rig up a couple of batteries in the passenger floorboard to give 24V to activate it.

The 3 I have are spoken for and it's up to me to get the time to machine some manifold blocks so I can ship these out.

We're currently in the process of getting ready to move to a bigger facility and buying more shop equipment, so it's been on the backburner.
