4L80e Brake
Hi,
I'm now planning my parking brake installation for a street rod project with a 4L80e.
I wanted to avoid running brake cables to rear calipers and I was told that motorhomes had 4L80e transmissions with a brake assembly mounted to the trans tailshaft.
Is this something to consider so I can connect to a gennie or lokar floor mounted emegency brake handle to the trans.
Thank you for your help.........

Never heard of a brake mounted to the trans, but they make them to mount on your pinion www.tsmmfg.comConfusious say: He who dies with the most toys, Wins

They are a large drum style. Too long in a hot rod IMO. They are used in large trucks/Motor homes, thus are sized for something in the 7,000 lb range and up.
TSM kits are around $250. Others make them also.

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
