> [@votblindub](#): > > so it makes it so that an automatic tranny launches like a manual at a 3500rpm clutch dump? not really, a transbrake is more so equivelent to dropping the clutch, torque converter “slips” to the spec’d rpm, allowing it to launch harder and keeping the car in its powerband. ---

It makes the car feel sluggish around town at part throttle. It is actually less efficient than stock but it will go like a bad ass. My TA has a stall around 1800 stock ---
