I have a 700r4 with Trans-Go parts and an Edge 2800 9.5" converter.
What are my options regarding a trans brake or something that'll work like one?
Doesn't seem like there really is much in the way of an actual trans brake on the market for a 700 slush box.

Not too many transbrakes available for the 700R4 because it's not a good drag racing transmission.
What options do I have short of replacing the trans?

I know Art Carr, and I believe Rossler, offer a T-brake manual vb/set-up for a 700r, but both require internal mods(complete diss-assembly). Since (like a th350) low gear is reverse in a 700r, you can't simply divert fluid between low and rev like you do in a glide or th400.
Honestly, if you are really at the level of needing a manual vb and trans-brake and OD, I'd talk to someone like Gear Star about a t-brake/manual 4l80.

Maybe i'll just wait until I break this one. I just had it rebuilt and beefed.
All transbrakes require internal modifications to the tranny.

Depends on what you consider "internal". A th400 can be done w/o pulling the pump or guts, but you have to make some cuts in the case passage ways, so it's reccomended to be apart for proper flush out. - Most full manual tb valvebodies eliminate the intermediate band and servo, but if the band is left in the case it simply won't do anything.Originally Posted by Stephen 87 IROC
All transbrakes require internal modifications to the tranny. The TH400 kit I had needed a small hole drilled in the direct clutch hub to allow the fluid to dump quicker or something like that. A seal inside the clutch hub needs to be removed. The intermediate band and servo are removed.
I was using a B&M four-O transbrake but they all work similarly.

A full manual valve body doesn't need internal modification but a transbrake one does.
