is there a such thing as a transmission brake or break for our cars

Ummm...no. However, you can use the transmission to envoke engine braking. Works best on a 5-speed through rev-matching. On an auto it doesn't work so good, and you can damage your tranmission if you are not careful.

I finnaly tried that today w00 shifting gears rules just that it wont let me go to first gear when in motion..not that i wanna engage it. I just wanna have it ready for when i start off again after the stop sign. :/

First gear is usually locked out after you get going. You'd have to rev match to get it into first.

I assume you're asking about a typical performance trans brake that hot-rods and racers use to aid in quicker launches - ie...leave an auto in drive, apply break, rev engine, and then when light changes, flag drops, etc.., you release the brake, and off you go...

If this is what you're looking for / asking about, there is not one ready made, but you MAY be able to modify one for an auto-tragic trans, if need be...but i'm sure it won't be cheap...

Wow, if your talking about that....maybe he's referring to a high stall Torque convertor??

a high stall converter provides similar results...but with our trans, I would think they'd be a tad harse, and really shorten their life span...

yeah but...I would not do that in a maximas auto tranny...thats kinda the way the tansmission in my wagon died. It popped a belt/chain that went that grabs 2nd and 4th gear..not cool driving it in 1st and third.

Yeah...I'm totally with you guys....I was just wondering if that's what he's talkin about.
