as far as transbrakes for the c6 who makes em? and do they have to be on a full manual vb?? i'd like the drivability of the auto for street use, having to shift it manually all the time would get tedious, but a transbrake would be sweet for the track, should aid in launching better too[This message has been edited by Dubz (edited 07-24-2004).]

Every transbrake I have seen for sale by every manufacturer has been full manual valve body. Several companies make them. TCI and Coan do, and I think Dynamic does too. Not sure about JPT. I've driven several full manaul valve body auto's on the street, and it's still less work than having to shift a stick shift.

Before I switched my Fairmont over to a 4 speed Jerico, I had used a C6 with a Ford Motorsport trans brake full manual valve body. The valve body is actually made by Art Carr, and it worked quite well (for an automatic, that is!)  ------------------

Yes, JPT makes his own transbrake valve bodies. I have one in my car and it is a nice piece.Don't be afraid to drive a manual vavle body on the street. I like it myself.
