I've seen one, but it was only available in a manual valvebody. Maybe it was from TCI, I don't remember.

Didn't see anything on TCI's website. Art Carr has one, but it's on a reverse pattern valvebody.

it is 599,automatic shift and contains boost valves ,accumulator springs,servo ,technical info.solenoid is internal and the reverse light power wire must be wired into the t brake solenoid so itll turn on the solenoid when in reverse.

NO THE TRANSBRAKE ENERGIZES IN LO GEAR WITH THE BUTTON PUSHED.reverse uses the same solenoid therefore 12 volts must be supplied to the solenoid in order to engage the reverse input drum and initiate reverse movement.this is done to eliminate the complexity and length of the oil circuits if it applied the reverse clutch without the solenoid the integrity of the clutch packs would be at stake.this is very easily achieved by using the reverse light wire which sends current to the reverse lights to energize the solenoid when the selector is placed in reverse.it is very simple,certainly not stupid

ok so the trans brake would be a vavle body with solenoids in it then right? because the only solenoid in my trans mission is for the TCC

what comes in the kit do you have a link to the part number on the web site?
