An end connection for a transmission brake band enabling the band to be inserted longitudinally into the space between the drum and housing. The end connection comprises an end plate welded to the band strap and having a reversely bent pocket. After inserting the band, a bracket is placed over the end plate with one end inserted in the pocket and the other reversely bent to engage end plate edge. The bracket has a tang engageable by the piston rod and is held in position by the housing so that the load is equally distributed between both ends of the end plate. In a modification, the reversely bent end of the bracket is relieved so that it does not engage the end plate but still serves to occupy the space between the band strap and the housing.
