Trans for mud racing

Anyone have recomm on a company that makes good transmissions for mud drags? I need a transbrake in it. Please help.. Hughes? TCI Auto?

2 or 3 Speed?

if it is a 3 speed go with a Frank Merkl Trans Brake VB

Who sells frank? Do you have any contact info? I want to go 3 speed. Like reverse shirt pattern

P R N 3 2 1

you can contact him here on the board, his name is his handle here. He is in Canada, and shipping can be a little bit of a hassle, but it is well worth it.

I'm thinking you meant PRN123, I believe you can only get a reverse pattern in a transbrake valve body.
You can get a good rebuilt c-6 and just have Franks valve body put into it.

I'm with the rest on here. Go to the auction block and find the thread about Trans Brake valve bodies from Frank M. You won't be disappointed.

I've used a couple of the Broader Performance REV/brake VB's with good success. Whoever you use, make sure the linkage is lined up. http://www.broaderperformance.com/26-ford-c6-?ps_full_site=1

Andre Pontbriand, Edge Racing Converters.

Or give a call to Lenny at Ultimate Converter Concepts or UCC for short

anyone have contact info for them? and whats the cost roughly?

Go to the main page, at the top you will see a link to UCC. He's a sponsor here

Www.edgeracingconverters.com. 1-888-350-3343
Fill out the questionnaire about what you have and are building and Andre will give you a call back to let you know what he thinks should be done to get you the results your after. Great customer service, I emailed him a question I had about adjusting my stall and the next day he had looked up my phone number from my records and called me instead of just emailing me back. You can't beat the service.

I have no experience with Edge, but I have used UCC in the past and will do in the future.
1. He is a sponsor here, that counts a lot with me.
2. He was great to deal with, convertor showed up on time, looked great and stalled where it was supposed to. I could not ask for anything more than that.

Whom ever you deal with have your converter built to work with YOUR combination, dont just pick one from a warehouse and hope it will work for you because there are alot of factors that play into building a converter for a 4x4, and a custom converter usually costs the same as an off the shelf one.

I'm foot braking a C6 with a manual reverce valve body. The rules I race by allows for a 4500 max stall and a transbrake but I'm still not using one.

thats cool.. so i check out the website.. if you don't mind, how much hp and torque does your bronco put out??

I run one of my C-6's with a Merkle brake with absolutely no complaints. My converter is an ATI.

The last converter I bought was a Fti its a nice peice!! The next one will be a billet aluminum chance bolt together!!
