Trans Brake Slow Release - Page 2

My C4 went a similar route. It was a TCI StreetFighter that kept blowing converter seals. I figured something was screwy with the case and bought a newer C4 case. I had a local trans shop rebuild the two into one. In the process I found a badly chipped forward solenoid piston and ordered an aftermarket part from PA Auto. Added a 6 gear pinion at the time, too. The shop didn't specialize in racing autos so I was very clear with them as what should be replaced with what. It worked out OK, but I was really considering a stick for a while.

I'm a trans guy and if I was going to recommend someone other than myself it would be Jack.
If you stay close to home ,be sure your builder uses an intermediate clutch support/case saver. The higher line pressures stress one of the few weak spots of the TH400.
I prefer Rosslers piece ,simple and strong . reasonable price too .
