SignUp Now!Wanting to get some opinions from some of the members on some of the pros and cons of having a transbrake for a street car and sees some track time. Jr.
. The manual brake inherently has a HUGE delay in it . The manual brake also has a TON of rollout in it!
If your putting the manual brake in a trans with high mileage that may be true, however if you put it in a low mileage or new built trans with a decent builder and tight clutch clearances in the low/rev, direct,and overrun, the trans will lock right down on the brake and leave quick {without shudder}.

At the time, my tranny was tight, all new parts, billet drums, etc. I still didn't like the fact that when you engage it, there was too much fore and aft movement.
Sorry, but I hated the thing. Slow to react and sloppy all the way around.
Went back to foot braking and got back to winning.
Manual trans brakes are fun, yes, but they absolutely suck for bracket racing.

That is why I do not like the "slam the shifter brake" Very dangerous and can be fatal!!!
