Trans brake question

Ok I have a dumb because I am a nubie. On a C6 trans with a trans brake, is it necessary to hold the button in when you want to engage reverse gear? Or is that all dependent on the type of the trans brake ( pro tree??)
Thanks
Dave

Depends on the transbrake from what I gather. I had a C6 with transbrake and you didn't have to hold in the button. My glide is a Pro Tree brake and I have to hold in the button for reverse.

My pro-tree brake c-6 requires i hold the button for reverse.

yea some you have to some you dont.

Mine had a Trans King Pro Brake and you had to hold it in. PITA imo

I have one of Frank Merkls transbrakes. It doesn't use the button for reverse.

Yeah, just depends on how the 'brake was designed.
Trans King Tranz-Brake (Pro Tree) - Had to hold the button
JPT Trans Brake (Pro Tree) - Didn't have to hold the button
Broader Perf Trans Brake (Pro Tree) - Didn't have to hold the button
Early Art Carr (Internal) - Didn't have to hold the button
TCI (Internal) - Didn't have to hold the button
Frank Merkl (Inernal) - Didn't have to hold the button

There, thats what I've used in the past and what each one requires.

Does that count as a IHRA/NHRA approved reverse lock out when you have to hold the button down? Or do you still need the lock out in the shifter?

still need the lock out on the shifter
