Can you put a Transbrake on a TH350?

This TCI® TransBrake® Valve Body Kit has been designed to work with a Turbo 350 Non-lock up transmission. This is a reverse shift pattern valve body with no engine braking. The installation of this valve body will require modifications of the transmission.

How does a Transbrake work?

A transbrake is activated by a driver-controlled switch that connects to a solenoid mounted on the transmission. When engaged, the transbrake applies forward/low gear and reverse at the same time. Working against each other, the vehicle is unable to move, and is effectively locked in position on the starting line.

Do you need a 2 step with a Transbrake?

Yes, you can use a 2-Step to help build boost, but there’s more to it sometimes besides just “putting it on the 2-Step.” Often times it takes some testing to see what RPM, igniting timing, fueling, etc., it takes to make it work well and build boost.

How do you use the Transbrake button?

Immediately press the trans-brake button but remember to keep your foot on the brake pedal. Wait for a split second in order to give the brake time to engage. As far as rpm is concerned, higher doesn’t necessarily mean better or faster.

Which transmission is better TH350 or th400?

They are completely different transmissions. The Turbo 400 is larger, longer, and heavier than the Turbo 350 and was designed to live behind higher-torque applications such as big-blocks. That doesn’t mean the Turbo 350 is weak in comparison.

How does a TH350 transmission work?

TH350 transmissions use a cable-operated downshift or “detent” valve located in the valve body. This valve provides forced downshifts with heavy- or full-throttle application for improved vehicle acceleration. The transmission still upshifts on the governor when the downshift valve is applied.

What RPM should I leave on transbrake?

Re: Transbrake launch rpm? Anywhere between 3500 and 4500 with a converter that would “flash” to between 6700-7000 depending on air. Car would always 60′ about the same whether it was 3500 or 4500. Just a lot more violent the higher you leave on the chip.

What does pedaling mean in drag racing?

Pedaling: When a driver lifts off the throttle, then gets back on it again, in an attempt to regain traction with the rear tires.

What’s the difference between Line Lock and Transbrake?

A line lock is not used to launch the vehicle, or at any time during the race!! LOL, can you imagine?? A transbrake is used to hold the car from rolling, while being able to rev up the engine while its in gear. The transbrake is used to launch the car to start the race.

What is the purpose of a Transbrake?

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. In drag racing, a Transbrake is a mechanism that selectively places the transmission in A forward and reverse gear simultaneously. This allows the engine to create full power without transmitting that power through the driveline, allowing the car to stay in one place.

What kind of engine does a TH350 have?

This is our Stage 1 TH350 build with a heavy duty K case core and using a reverse manual valve body with engine braking for rock-crawling or off-road use. Our Stage 2 TH350 includes all the features of the Street model plus a 36 element sprag and drum upgrade, special retaining ring on the sprag, and a deep aluminum pan standard. 750 HP/TQ capable.

How much horsepower does a Jake’s performance TH350 have?
