My Griner LBA brake sometimes won't hold the car on the starting line. Sometimes it works OK. Always feels like it engages, but sometimes the car will roll thru the beams. Where do I start the diagnostics?

I had trouble with mine once. It was shifter cable adjustment.

High clutch slipping. High gear ok? This is correct. How long do you have on the trans? Has this been a problem since day one? My 904 would occasionally do this with a Griner LBA Brake. later it wouln't hold at WOT and I had to chip it down. Eventually high gear failed. We tightened up the High gear clutch pack clearance on rebuild, and added 1 1/2 turns of pressure. Never had a problem in the 5 years since.

Most current transbrake VB's have the center pressure tap blocked off, only way to check line pressure is at the front tap with the trans in high gear.

"reverse servo with brake on should be 180lbs" Are we still talking about a 727 ? I've seen those numbers tossed about for a glide. Any and all input is welcome
