Re: Hipsters Brake
Dave, like I said the solinoid only energizes to apply the brake. Once power is removed from the solinoid it de-energizes and the pressure in the trans. drives the valve and the solinoid back. There is no spring in there like the old ones. If the solinoid is free to move without any binding there is nothing it can do to slow up your RT's. Maybe you blinked or your getting feeble.....

Re: Hipsters Brake
Dave, I do not have a good answer for you on this one.
Usually if a solenoid goes bad the brake will not hold or holds intermittenly. Heat is a killer of a lot of things on a trans. I always suggest running as big a trans cooler as possible and a deep pan if possible. That helps with the temp issues. That is about all I can come up with at this time. Hope this helps. Rick |

I think I remember that guy, I also think he was div. 1 champ , but it's been so long since I seen him at the track he may have retired. He looked preetty old to me. |

Re: Hipsters Brake
Hey Dave.... I had a similar problem some years back.... intermittent release.... my lights were worse than yours.... went through everything and found nothing.... then one night at Island, in the semi's, I let go of the button and the car sat for like 15 seconds.... went home, got a new button, problem solved.... check it out if you haven't already.....
