All the TH400 transbrakes on the market are reverse pattern except the two speed dedicated valve bodies and I have an automatic shift forward pattern design. I only sell the auto shift setup as a complete trans.

I'm in the testing stages of a forward manual design that I'm developing, but they are probably a month out.

This 400 is one of yours I bought last year from you but at the time I didn't want anything more than the stage 2. I called today but don't want to send it back because this is our ( az ) race time. Its no fun racing when its 108 degrees at the track, lol. So not to many options then right ?

You can install a reverse pattern transbrake fairly easily. No internal mods needed.

Nobody makes a forward pattern yet so you're stuck there.

I'm a Fan of the Griner Valvebody and Trans Brake Solenoid......
1st gear or 2nd gear leave on the transbrake...

I've looked at griner and a lot of people like them but don't think I would benefit from that. Just a weekend player

sometimes track prep sucks.... 2nd gear leave works to solve shitty track prep issues...


also...if you ever decide to do some street racing in "mexico" with friends...
2nd gear leave pretty much always works on the street (this comes from first hand experience on a popular discovery channel tv show we have participated in)

I'm one of only a handful of Griner dealers.
The Griner VB is THE VB of choice for pro-tree and upper end combos. I stock the 34G10 1+2.
However it's almost $1000 retail, so it's not for everyone.
