Default Transbrake rollout problem

Hey guys,
This whole transbrake thing is new to me and I'm having a little issue with the car wanting to roll a bit after the transbrake is applied.
The car is a 66 chevelle with a 355 smallblock running at about 425 hp the trans is a hughes TH350 reverse valve body with a TCI transbrake.
The problem, when I stage the car and apply the transbrake and release the footbrake the car moves forward probably an inch or two before the transbrake locks in. It's almost like there is slack in the drivetrain. It's not enough to make me roll out of stage but it is enough to make me red light easier because im so far into the lights. The transmission runs and shifts smooth and it launches great.
I'm hoping this is a common problem and an easy fix and hopefully the transmission isn't heading south on me.
Next race is next weekend so a quick reply is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
