I've hard my Gov maybe bad but now I'm wondering if my brake is turning into a bomb as you put it?


Thanks

Has nothing to do with your issue. You have another issue, unless the sprag is already "rolled". Does the brake work? Will it hold? You , have something else going on I believe but I could be wrong. It is possible tho, that the sprag has already hurt. Why it takes off in 2nd gear is usually high line pressure at idle and by high I mean, over 145psi at idle.
