Trans brake 101

[BIGAIR]

Just installed Lonnies new t brake. Seems to work fine, but I have not REALLY launched it. My ? is, once the brake is set in 1st and released, will I have to manually shift up, or will the shifts take place even though the gear selector is in 1st? If that is the case, can I set the brake in 1st and then move the selector to D before releasing the button?

TIA

You will have to move the lever up to make it shift.

You have to shift it...Period.

If you shift out of 1st while on the brake it will release.

T brake was kind of a PITA. I had a friend that knows these transmisions, so that helped a lot. W/o him...eeeek, I would have been extremely lost.
Don't know how it works w/ a stock pan though. I have a deep pan that I was reluctant to 'modify', so we had to grind down the brakes pump plate.
good luck.
