At what rpm did you set the brake at... seems that some of the T/A brakes you need to be about 1500 rpm's or better then you can go to the set rpm... otherwise you dont have enough line pressure

Have you checked the line pressure... very important on a T-brake

no havent checked that but the last time i used the brake it was fine. just have not used it in about a year . is it possible the seleniod is bad or weak. i will check line pressure.
I had a problem with a older T/A brake that had a machining issue... both me and my tranny guy had the same issue... he called them and they sent out 2 parts for both of our units... a wall in the brake was flexing back and forth with the pressure and finally cracked and it would bleed off pressure allowing it to creap and finally wouldnt hold at all.... since then its been great(about 8 years now)
