Jacobs E Brake

Just curious, I see the Jacobs E brakes on ebay all the time. They are a mopar accessorie for the 24v w/manual transmission. Why would this brake not work with the auto.

I'm guessing because of the tc not locking up, which wouldn't be a problem for you, but I don't know for sure

What do the Jacobs E brakes price for from the dealer, and because I have the lock up switch will it work. If any ones has any ideas let me know.

It should work fine with the lock-up switch. Since you apparently have been using the switch already, you probably won't even have much of a learning curve for the brake. You'll like it.

If I remember correctly, it was around $700 or $750. I'd imagine it would work fine with the tc lockup switch, I don't know for sure though. It'd be nice to wire the brake into the tc switch as well so when you kick the ebrake on it'd lock the converter at the same time.
