Ended up being the steering wheel bracket came loose letting the button hit the side of the wheel. Was a bit of a scary ride.
Hey Hammertime, that is exactly why i put the trans brake button by the shifter, and run an electric shift valve body.
My friend Jeff Russell, let a young lady drive his dragster (she had never been in one) during the burnout, she accidently hit the trans-brake button, her head bounced forward a bunch and she fractured 2 vertibra in her neck which required surgery. That was in 2005, and she still has pain. I have it on a dvd if i can ever figure out how to seperate the different segments.
