b&m sells an external trans brake kit, but the stock auto trans from any z car 89 and down would more then likely puke its guts the first round, theres also no real point in having a trans brake unless you wanna run below 8 seconds in the 1/4.

yeah, the auto's from 89 down are pretty much slush box's period, fun to blow up right before you do a 5spd swap, but suck otherwise.
