PG Transbrake Solenoid - Open Style

The PG Transbrake Solenoid - Open Style from FTI Performance is a precision-engineered solenoid valve designed for drag racing and high-performance transmission control systems. This component acts as the electronic control hub for transbrake functionality, enabling drivers to hold the vehicle stationary under full engine load before launch—a critical advantage in competitive racing where every millisecond counts. Built for serious bracket racers and street-strip enthusiasts, this solenoid delivers the reliability and response time required for consistent, repeatable launches.

The open-style design prioritizes durability and thermal management, allowing better airflow around the solenoid coil while maintaining the precise electromagnetic actuation necessary for transbrake engagement and release. FTI Performance engineered this unit to handle the electrical demands and mechanical cycling stress inherent to launch control systems, where solenoid coils must energize and de-energize thousands of times without degradation. The compact 6.5 x 6.4 x 6.8-inch form factor and 1.25 lb weight ensure easy integration into existing transmission controller setups without adding significant bulk or requiring major mounting modifications.

Racers upgrading to dedicated transbrake systems or replacing worn solenoid valves will benefit from the PG Transbrake Solenoid's direct compatibility with FTI Performance transmission control platforms and aftermarket torque converters equipped with transbrake capability. Installation typically pairs this solenoid with a transmission controller and appropriate wiring harness; verify your specific transmission type and controller version before ordering. This is a core component for any 700R4, 4L60E, 4L80E, or other GM automatic transmission conversions designed for launch control applications.
