Well, Ive held my tongue for 3 months... LONG story - Mods please dont delete this--I dont want someone else have to go through this. I bought a Tranzact brake back in May. After installing it, the car didnt want to shift to drive, when it did, it would take over 2 seconds then drag the car to a stop. Went as far as PULLING THE 727 OUT of the car and had it looked at(thanks jim) . Trans is fine, Its IMPOSSIBLE to get tranzact on the phone and they will not answer my emails. They dont even have any sort of answering machine. I talked to a guy there when he would answer the phone once every 2 weeks and basically got the run around. Not ONCE did he say "send it back" or " we will make it right" . Just had me adjust the line pressure (didnt help). I ended up sticking a Turbo action brake in the car--NO MORE shift problems.Works perfect. Definatelty the tranzact causing the issues. So..i just shipped the junk back to them and it was signed for and delivered on august 4th. i included a letter inside because they wont pick up the phone. Here it is 9 days later and no contact.  Pretty much 3 months of BS. and probably $400 of my money down the drain

It is one guy Joe Chrisman. I just talked to him a couple weeks ago. I no longer run his VB because I was talked into a glide.
Hope you get fixed. But, don't feel bad Rick Allison had me tear up two transmissions and work on his VB a bunch. Only got worse. Burnt up the clutches in one race, which I won. Then made pressure adjustments and the problem got worse. I was told I had bad cases. Some guys have good luck with the A&A. It can be very frustrating. I have ran the Tranzact VB's in several cars with great results. Better than TA by far and the pressure spool valve is secured better in Tranzact's. But, if it aint working going into high sounds like Joe's got some fixing to do. Sorry you didn't get the results I did.

first time I have heard anything bad about Tranzact brakes. I have run several, and when I asked pages of replies stating his brakes are the best..My brakes from him...one Pro, and one standard sets at idle, and never creeps.
But hey its impossible for every thing to be perfect, I believe you when you say yours is crap. I also belive you when you say you cant get ahold of him...
Problem is that we know everyone makes mistakes, but how they handle the problem travels a long way...
Hope you get some kind of resolution.
There is some guys on this board who are good friends with him..this might get some results...its a shame it has to come to this though...
Keep us posted..
