Possible Transbrake Issue

[Henry S]

I know there are differences in transbrake solenoids, especially when it comes to the amount of plunger travel. You may have to pull the pan and look how far the transbrake valve moves in with the new solenoid. Shim the brake solenoid so that the raised potion of the valve is flush with the valve body when engaged. even slightly out is ok, but to far in is not. Is the mph down a lot also or just slow in the front part of the track?

Hi Henry,

The MPH was down a little (1.5mph) but it seemed like the slow et in the 60' correlated to the et in the 1/8th. I ended up pulling the transmission earlier today and took it to a local transmission guy in north Alabama. Nice guy that's been working on power glides since before I was born lol. I'll let you all know what he says.

I am assuming that the transbrake is also a Hughes model................If so, you have to have a special length rod to go from the large Hughes solenoid to the smaller BTE type. They have different amounts of travel.
