Hi Lonnie
I bought a T400 from you 3 yrs ago, just now got around to installing it,
its a manual / trans brake/ for high horse power turbo V6,
has all forward gears, but no reverse, or trans brake .
tried Neutral and Rev, with button applied, nothing, I hear solinoid apply,
is there a pin not long enough?
thanks for your help!

And yes I posted in trans section, within 3 min of each other, I copied and pasted the same message in each post.
You see I was up front about age of trans, and was asking for help, not for waranty, you offered to repair it!
I felt it was unfair to expect you to pay shipping on a complete trans ( my guess more than $200) so I had the trans looked at, to see if something minor was at fault.
When I offered to ship JUST the VB (to save $$) you replied "THAT WORKS!!!!" so I did ask before I took it upon myself to ship the VB.
I paid shipping for valve body,to be sent to you, I did not know you were using junk for VB/trans brake. and you never mentioned that the builder wouldn't waranty it.
If you cannot afford to provide a good product, or you feel its rubs you the wrong way, then by all means do not replace the VB/trans brake.
I can live without your sarcasm and self pity.
you do what you feel is right.
thanks
Lee
