It has a very light spring. It is Rossler T350. I don't know if line pressure will keep it from happening on the starting line or not? I have another one in another transmission about 45 miles from here. I may need to go get it for Topeka next week. Looks like it just screw in the case?

Thanks, Ed
Ed, trans-brake selenoids are knows to go bad. For that reason, many racers carry a spare selenoid in their tool box. You can also take it out and clean it with brake cleaner.
