Thread: transbrake street safe?

  1. #1

    transbrake street safe?

    ive read on them and they say not for street use. Is this true or do they just say this so you will not use them on the street?

    No you can.....I think they mean, it's not "meant" for street use. But you still could.
    All a transbrake does is lock the forward and reverse gears together to lock the tranny from moving. It does cause alot of heat so it's not something ou want to beat on.


    Kinda of like Weld Wheels.....race use only...but you can run them, just maybe not legally and be prepared for a bent rim if you hit a good pothole.
