Trans brake question

#1 Post by Speedster » Sat Jul 17, 2010 12:56 pm

We have a power glide transmission with a trans brake and sometimes when we stage and hit the trans brake it will roll back a little and out of the light and gives us a auto red on the tree.
What is causing this? and is there a fix? we have been pulling in a little deeper to not get the auto red but it's really messing with our lights and it dont do it every time.

I'd look at the band. Either it's real loose or wore out. That's what was wrong with mine at least

I think the damage is done however you might make a band adjustment. If you find that you have to turn it in two or three turns then the band may be down to the metal. Good luck to you.
