Default Re: Trans brake Ford C6?

It should be fine, Greg. I ran my Art Carr transbraked C6 for many years, running 10.5ET`s s at 3200 lbs. The brake itself worked fine, and the trans was very reliable. The only knocks I had were that on a 4/10`s Pro Tree, it didn`t release as quickly as most other transmissions, and at times when you pushed the button, the car would roll foreward a couple of inches. I always found that if I quickly tapped the button a few times between the burnout box and the staging area, the "roll in" was eliminated. The relatively slow transbrake release was never an issue on a full tree. Of course, the C6 does eat up a fair bit of power, as do all automatics to some degree.
