New Trans Brake
I ordered a new trans today from ROSSLER . It is coming with his new trans brake.He says he has applied for a patent & he has about 50 already out. Carl Rossler is a great guy known for high HP reliability. According to him the Turbo guys love it.

Face we are talking about the 4l60E my friend. Our transmission. I had a long conversation with Carl about that transbrake and what it takes to put it in.
Trans rebuild and and deeper oil pan and we are set to go.
Could be in my next rebuild

Honestly unless you are also going to run a delay box I don't see the advantage of using one, maybe I am missing something. Now on a dedicated track car it would be great with a delay box and a 2 step. But at most tracks where I go you would have to run in the electronics classes.
It will be interesting to see how well it does or does not work. I'm curious because about a year ago I was in a post on ls1tech in the auto trans section. The post was called "Yank wants to know." It covered lots of subjects but in one post I asked about a trans brake in the 4L60. FLP responded and another trans vendor did as well but I can't remember who the second vendor was. Anyway they both told me that they did not think the strength of the 4L60 case was up to the task. We shall see.

Well welcome to the forum and please do keep us posted on the brake and your racing with the Vette. We love race reports.
I did a search on ls1tech and found some reports on on the first 4l60e brake in an f-body

About Rossler's new 4L60E brake... looks like the perfect street application. Full automatic shifting (a first for a brake equipped auto trans), plus the launch of a stickshift (why brakes were invented in the first place).
