Of course you can use it on your automatic ABS or no-ABS. Here's how it will go for you:

-Stop the car and keep it in Drive or 1st.
-Now you gotta PUMP the break pedal til it is very hard to push in. Its ready. So KEEP it pushed in.
-Flick your switch(on/off switch) or use the switch they give you with your kit which you need to hold it ON for it to work.
-Release your brake pedal and still hold the switch ON.
-At this point, you dont have any brakes in the rear, only the front will hold you in place.
-Do your burnout in 1st I guess. Depending of your gearing/rpm you might need to shift the tranny to 2nd gear.(maybe 3rd for all I know)
-When there's enough smoke and your tires are sticky release your button/switch that you're still holding and the stang will start to move forward.

Enjoy.

Thats exactly how I had mine also. Didnt like the idea to hold the switch the whole time...

I wouldnt use it either at the staging lanes. I think what you need is a "transbreak". Not positive about it though but I'm sure some AODE guys will climb in here to confirm.

why do you think you need a transbake?

seems easier to get the engine to rev up without sliding or spinning the tires

what kind of times does you car run? I think a line-lock is going to do the same thing you're looking for out of the transbrake. Unless you have a high stall converter I don't see it being worth the money for the transbrake.

Well I guess it depends on what you want to do with the car. Most of the guys that get real serisous about it switch to a C4 and buy one with the transbrake in it. Till then I would just use the line lock. It's better to only have to do it once. I know I've done things twice more times than I can count

Bringing this thread back to life. I just ordered the following:

SUM-760002
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM-760002

and SUM-G3904
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM-G3904

I figured as long as the engine is coming out, and I'm changing the k-member, I might as well do this project to. Wow, my bank account hates me.

Is that line-lock rebuildable?

I use a moroso one and keep a rebuild kit with me at the track.

Nothing worse than getting in the middle of a race day and having your line-lock fail.

If you haven't ordered it you might consider one that is rebuildable if that one is not.
