looking for ideas on no 3rd brake issue
Hey all,

So I bought a 'new' trans a little while ago and have been fighting allot off issues with it. One thing that has not been addressed by Mike is the lack of 3rd gear braking. In the many pm's I never received any thought from him on what could be causing this condition. I have read that not having the sol A resistor (behind the batt) connected will cause this. Well I have it plugged in and the resistance tested good also, even after a drive when it was heated a bit.

So, what else can cause a trans to have no engine brake effect while the shifter is positioned in the 3rd gear slot?

Any takers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shaun
