Trans guys got a question

If you got a hole in the front drum.I know it there for using a trans brake. To bleed off pressure. and I know front clutchs are on in reverse and high gear. If I do not use a trans brake valve body.will there be any problems ?

I've never noticed an issue when I put it into reverse or when I go into third.

It should be good thats one of the mods out of the CRT book.

youll be good it shoulnt mater if you run a small bleed hole with a manual vb the bleed hole is there to aid in the brake release.

Should not be a problem, I drilled one in mine when I did my last tranny for my car, as I put the brake back in it, but have never used it, and it seems fine. Would not hesitate to use a drilled drum in a rebuild.

I agree. A properly drilled (small) hole for a transbrake will be fine with an aftermarket manual valve body.

My thought would be as long as its in a manual VB with full line pressure. A VB set up with the throttle linkage and variable line pressure may have issues.

Just with a hole in it you have to relocate the vent from front pump housing!

vent is moved.. Thanks guy just thought I ask.

If the trans is apart and it's not needed you could seal the hole , tapped for a small set screw installed with RED loctite would do the trick .
