Just wondering, i have a built glide and convertor, but i'm wondering how much it would be worth and what you have to change to trans brake it?

i've been told the glides only need solinoid/module put on. call a trans shop and ask would be your best bet Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Also getting THE BIGGEST trans cooler u can buy, with a thermo on it. I once got told that whilst on the transbrake itself the fluid is heating up at 100 degrees F per second! Pretty scary

Lets all note the thread is "Cost of transbrake"! It's not what i can break or how strong my driveline isn't. At it's not a K-mart tyre catalogue. Thanks Marmo for a decent comment
