Guys, I just heard that those pics were from a "fuel leak" and some other things, but not from a tranny failure

Something is wrong with the link, copy the one on nagtroc.org. I keeps rerouting me.

Turn VDC off, turn the transmission/damping switch to R (the 3 R's). Left foot on brake, right foot on and go..in a nutshell.

But by holding the brake, wouldn't that cause premature wear and stress on the transmission? I mean, does the computer know that the user is trying to use the launch mode, thereby not engaging the auto clutch?

Sounds more like powerbraking, than launch control to me
