1. A system for modifying an automatic transmission of a vehicle which has a plurality of clutch packages to provide a low gear and a plurality of higher gears and a transmission control module equipped to run the transmission in a normal start gear mode with shifting beginning from low gear and progressing to the higher gears and a higher start gear mode beginning at one of the higher gears, wherein said system includes:
a clutch brake mechanism connected to the transmission which when actuated on during initiation of the higher start gear mode, applies increased pressure on a predetermined clutch package creating a temporary clutch brake to keep in check another clutch package engaged for the higher start gear mode, and upon actuating off releases said predetermined clutch package thereby enabling enhanced take off speed with said another clutch package being engaged.
