trans brake ?s

[kraus]

Just got a stage 2 extream automatics with a brake,it is a electronic brake? So I was told reverse will not work without it wired in! So now I need to wire a momentary switch in to it question is,how big amp switch do I need? Also to engage reverse do I need to hold button or just push it and it will go? New to this transbrake deal,so trying to get low down on how and why works that why?

You need to supply voltage off of the reverse light circuit to the solenoid so when you put it in reverse, there's voltage there so you have full line pressure while in reverse. If you dont, you'll smoke your reverse gear. To operate your brake with a momentary switch, you need to get a 12V power source from the fuse block run to the switch then down to the solenoid as well. Your reverse light will light up when you use the brake but thats no big deal. I like to put a safety switch in between the 12V supply and the momentary switch so you dont bump the switch on accident.
