transbrake problem

Hi guys, please check at the video how the car swings when I release the brakes, what can cause this?
I'm thinking to install a line lock to the rear brakes wired to the transbrake buttom.
My friend has a new solenoid, I will try it first

If you're running a transbrake, why are you using the brakes?

to stage at the line, first I apply the brakes, then I press the transbrake buttom and the car swings when I release the brakes.
I'm new with transbrake is this movement normal?
I was watching all the cars that night and just mine do that hahahaha.

I'm sure someone who builds transmission's will chime in, but I'd check your band adjustment, and maybe look at how much pressure you have at idle, and when you set the brake.

You don't need to worry about putting a linelock on it, you need to fix your trans.

TH350 with a brake? You'll be old and gray before that thing works consistently on the starting line. I stage at idle, set the brake and it don't rock a bit. I got a Powerglide though.
