Jan 7, 2011 how would a 2 step work on an automatic trans?? would i need a trans brake and converter Joined Oct 28, 2010 · 3,412 Posts
i dont think you'd need a trans brake. you would most likely want a converter, otherwise you'll only be able to set the 2step rev to whatever your stock stall could handle. after i get a stall i plan on getting a 2step just for consistency and bad ass effect.

yes you can make it work but i dont see how you would activate the two step except with the brake lights when you push on the brake pedal...hmmm try it and see what happens...

Casper has one hooked up to his brake light switch with another inline toggle to shut it off during the burnout and then after the
burnout, he flips the toggle so the 2 step is active when he hits the brake at the beams

Mine is set on the brake pedal switch too. And for clarification, most converters are rated for their stall speed while on the trans-brake. When using the footbrake, the converter will overpower the tires a bit lower than whatever your true stall speed is. Mine for example stalls up around 4500rpm, but on stock street tires the footbrake will only
hold the converter at about 3100rpm before it starts spinning the tires. It will hold a bit higher than that on my track tires. BTW, you have to run the MSD Launch Box or some sort of separate 2-step for an automatic car......the one that can be set in the tune will not work without modification to the PCM's harness.
