Has anyone had success with using a hand activated adjustable button with no transbrake. Im not sure how timing your hand and your brake foot would work.

It's not hard on parts, but as a general rule, a transbrake equipped transmission is a little slower. Any 3 speed automatic that uses the direct clutches to hold the car when the transbrake is applied will wear direct clutches out quicker.

Yeah, a hand button and a foot brake have been tried together, one out of maybe 50 drivers can do it well on a consistent basis.
