Quick braking question.
NO,
The torque converter doesn't lock up in first or second gear, also you do not want to overspeed the engine, that would result in valve breakage and destroy the engine. The 3208 doesn't provide much back presure anyway so even in 3rd or 4th you will need the brakes. Gardner 78FC33 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "kingmtpg" wrote: > > New guy here again.
