We love brutal, wheel-standing drag-race action, and we know you do to. That's one reason why we launched our new Heads Up News department in this month's issue. And speaking of wheels-up action, what goes hand-in-hand with that? You got it--a trans brake, which is a device that simultaneously engages the transmission's valvebody in forward and reverse gears so the car can be preloaded against the converter. When the 'brake is released it's like dropping the clutch in a car equipped with a manual trans.
Here at Car Craft , only one of the four staffers has one in his car-and he doesn't even use it! But that compels us to ask the burning question of the month: Do you have a trans brake in any of your cars? Click on the link below, and vote yea or nay.
