Someone will probably know a shop that is closer, but CKPerformance on Long Island does top notch work.

[project89]

can u do it on a v6 700r4? never seen one done before,and what would i have to get for u to do it?

[JSPERFORMANCE]

We can get the parts so no worries about that.. Some kits require internal modifications to the trans in addition to the valve body.. So a full rebuild may be suggested so that the trans will be up to the task..

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Oh, and obviously a decent shifter like a quarter stick and a driveline that can take that beating....

[project89]

lol the trans is already rebuilt,v8 hardparts swap with tci kit/b&m transpack shiftkit,im getting a b&m shifter shortly,i just need to get my hands on another trans i can put in the car then so i can still drive the car while i get the brake installed in the built one.can ya give me an round about on cost?

edit u cant install the brake with the trans in the car can u ?

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Like I said most likely there would have to be some internal modifications to the trans so it would have to come out and apart. Your shift kit is going to be pretty much worthless since the valve body is going to be completly replaced. There are also other upgrades that must be done to the trans that may not have been done.. (ie. HD sun shell, good clutches, HP pump, etc. etc.) Without having your trans here and apart it is impossible to know how much it will cost. In essence we cant just "bolt in" the trans brake valve body, the trans should be built for it if you want it to last any significant amount of time.

and a good gear set the motor will snap stock gears 6 to 10 passes into a set up its aike using a 10 bolt with a big block only for a while hahahahha jz

where were you able to find a th700r4 transbrake??? ive been looking for one and cant find em anywhere. i want to do that for my winter mods

[project89]

well mine was just rebuilt with all new cluthces/steels band etc new drum installed,new shaft.i cant afford a total rebuild again.much less pay somone to do something i can do myself.i just cant do the transbrake.that and its a street car i dont want a full manual valve body,already had one and took it out a few days later.thnx anyway man.ill just stick with the high stall converter and the 2 step for now

[JSPERFORMANCE]

tci makes one..

[camaroracer1992]

tci makes a reverse manual valve body which i have, i didnt see any 700r4 transbrakes listed, do you have a part number for that?

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Sorry, new part, no part number.

[camaroracer1992]

how much do they run???? im interested in one, im freshening up my trans over winter and would like to get one installed. i only need the parts i can have my tranny guy do it.

i just called TCI and they knew nothing about a transbrake. they say they dont make one, nor will they in the future??????

[WildBillyT]

Art Carr makes one, here is the instruction sheet:

[camaroracer1992]

wildbilly, they dont anymore, stopped making them. already tried that route. only a place in NY has em and they wont sell just the transbrake they'll only sell the whole trans.

[johnjzjz]

i made two calls as i am a dealer with to neal chance ( Pro MOD Convertor guy ) and carl morow (TSR Racing ) who wrote the book on powerglides and torque flights both told me its a waste of time a 700 trans is for the most part a light weight pass car unit at best both said a 400 would do the job and a glide if you are real about racing, the 700 units dogs in the case bust off and the fluid flow while on trans brake has a bad path so fluid temp is way high and foamy the car will never launch the same twice and will never last more than 25 / 50 passes anyway they see them also split the pump housing in 1/2 from the backed up pressure 5000 on the convertor but some one will tell you they know someone who has one thats works i am sure but you will be throwing your money in the air jz

[camaroracer1992]

oh wow, mines lasted 3 years foot braking (which is obviously differnet then a transbrake). hmm ill just keep the foot braking the car then

[1Fastformula]

There is a reason no one makes the transbrake for those transmissions any more.

I have one in my car (700r4 that is) and I foot brake it. This is my third hi-perf rebuild so far. Next time I'm going TH350. Soooo much cheaper.
