Are their any manufacturers that make Trans-brakes for the 24 spline early c4?Can you use fully manual reverse pattern valve bodies with trans-brakes? Is it better to? please let me know thanks
(sorry for all the questions)

the trans brake would work if you went to a hardened input shaft 26 spline which can be changed but then you have to get another torque converter ..the 24 spline will snap like a twig under that kind of pressure..I would build a 70 or newer with the H servo myself--Bruce

If i were to get a trans-brake would it give my trans harder shifts? Do Trans-brakes shift through the gears as hard as manual valve bodies?please let me know thanks

They don't make your trans shift harder. Trans brakes are used to lock your transmission in place while you load up on the converter at the line. It's like a much more effective form of a line-lock.------------------

All I can add is that a t-brake engages reverse while the shifter is in first. When you let go of the button, reverse releases and you're off. Pretty simple and very effective.  SteveW
