Lightbulb Re: Tranny Trouble

It may have a trans brake installed. That is how the ones made for these cars are designed to work. They use a modified valve installed in the valve body which engages first and reverse at the same time when the car is manually shifted into first gear.

Does it work OK otherwise?
