Hi i am putting a V8 automatic in my old V6 car.... and some one told me that i need to purchase a brake switch for the pedal, or else the transmision will not be able to be disengaged causeing me to eat trannys all the time... is this true if so can you show or tell me exactly what i need to buy?? thanks

 

The switch is used to disconnect the torque converter clutch whenever you step on the brake pedal. If your car came with an automatic with a torque converter clutch, the switch should already be there.

 

my car did not since it was a stick....so what do i need to get to fix this problem????

 

You need to add the switch or burn out the torque converter clutch. You can probably find one at a salvage yard. What transmission are you using? Some transmissions do not have a torque converter clutch.

 

the 4l60e auto trans is what im running. does this one need one of those?

 

The 4L60e is a computer controlled transmission. It needs a computer to work, and it also needs the TCC switch. What year car you plan to stick this combination in?

 

oh jesus

 

This is getting to be like the Spanish inquisition. You need to fess up and give all details.

 

the car is a 1994 and so is the corvette Tranny, Motor, and Computer. I also have the Z28 wiring wiring harness. What is TCC? so your telling me with that trans then i dont need to buy a switch at the pedals?

 

The whole thing should work. The TCC, Torque Converter Clutch is controlled by the computer, but the computer needs to know when the brakes are applied. In the Camaro the brake lite switch and TCC switch are combined in one unit, but are electrically separated.
