I am installing my new tranny this weekend and need some input on which button to buy. The brake is a A & A, The trans is a CRT 727. Their are so many to choose from and I need an education on them. Thanks

Check out Biondo racing. They have some adjustable trans brake buttons that will definitely come in handy for bottom bulb racing.

So you are activateing it with your left hand. The button mounted thought the arm/spoke of the steering wheel?

Left side also. I just have the edge of my thumb on the button and slide it off.

So you launch with no hands on the wheel? J/K. I have my button on the center counsel and lift off the button with my right hand and put it on the shifter. A longer button would be helpful, I have to split the last yellow to stay green.
