Trans Brake Slow Release - Page 2

NHRA1926 · 01-13-2016, 12:18 PM

I have a Turbo 400 manual valve body transmission with a Trans Brake. My problem is that when I release the thumb switch that is connected to the trans brake solenoid, there is a .5 to .75 second delay before the car actually moves. The switch is not hooked up to any delay box, it is wired directly to the trans brake solenoid. I tried activating the switch with the engine not running but with the electrical power on, and I can hear the solenoid does release as soon as I let go of the switch. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
