    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.com

    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.
