RE: 1967 fastback trans brake trouble
A "transbrake" locks the tranny in R while it's in gear. This loads the motor like foorbraking, but the car never moves forward. Let the button go and hold on.
Brian, I'm guessing it goes in reverse, but won't go forward ? Try disconnecting the ground for the soleniod first to make sure it not activated. I would imagine the valve in the valvebody is stuck, and it'll need to come out.

RE: 1967 fastback trans brake trouble
The point is to make a better hole shot when drag racing. I am not planning on doing any of that with it but that is the reason for it. I think you are supposed to go forward though but I don't know that much about them.
