Come to a full stop,

Everything in Sport +, left foot hard on the brake, right foot fully down on the accelerator, you'll get a message "performance start activated", keep your right foot down fully, release brake, and go..

If you want me to make a video let me know.

How hard do I have to press the brake? Does it gonna damage the transmission badly?

I just depress the brake pedal fully. No harm done. Just applying pressure to the brakes isn't going to damage the transmission, the rotors is another issue..

I'm sure launch control isn't the greatest thing in the world for these transmissions as they're traditional automatics, but as long as you aren't using it on a daily basis I don't think the excess wear would be anything to worry about (I may be wrong)..

I've used it a couple of times and I haven't noticed any increase wear.

They finally added it. Wish it were available on earlier models. Takes a lot of button pushing and planning to get a good launch on a 955.

I'd like to see a video. Not to see how to do it, just to check it out.
