Ummm...what is a Transbrake [sm=smiley29.gif]

It is a solonoid that basicly holds the trans between reverse and first, this allows to reach the true stall speed of your torque converter (yes you can only get one on an auto car). You do this to launch at the best RPM for your set-up. They also help with reation time.

i know what these are and seen em used and everything but what dont understand whats difference between those and nuetruel droppin ur tranny . i know cant launch by doing that but i know doing that will tear out a tranny quicker then sht . how is it these arent hard on trannys or are they .

It's way easier on the trans than a neutral drop, plus a trans brake is usually put into a upgraded trans. I would not put one into a stock trans.

I love watching kiddies doing neutral drops with their (parents? lol) car

..always wait around for the big sickening CLUNK followed by a dead car & a kid bitching about how unreliable his POS {insert car/brand here} is

Here's a question.. how do you decide to use either a trans brake or a line lock on a car, or would you use both? Line lock for burnouts & trans brake for the take off?
