I contacted the maker of this direct and this is what they said
hi cliff,
here is a little blurb on the product.
The GTRSS Kit is fully compatible with all Jager shifters, and the original
OEM stock T handle. The GTRS System is designed to put you in command of
your driving style by allowing instant activation of the transmission
kick-down relay and transmission solenoid.
By simply depressing the lock-out button of your shifter, you can invoke a
more sporting performance from your 928. You can return to the stock program
by releasing the button and allowing the 928's time delay relay de-energize.
Operation
** Safety Warning ** Do not use the GTRSS button on slippery surfaces. Use
caution at all times when activating the system. The increased power and
torque to the rear wheels will unexpectedly result in loss of traction and
control, resulting in injury or death to yourself and others.
Activating the GTRSS results in higher fuel consumption, increased engine
RPM, engine and driveline wear. Use the system only when necessary to do so.
The GTRSS activates the same relay in the transmission as the kick-down
button, which is set ON at full travel of the accelerator pedal.
Provided the throttle position is sufficient, the transmission will shift
down into the lowest possible gear, raising the engine RPM and accelerating
the car more quickly and aggressively.
First Gear Take-off
The GTRSS button is used when starting off to invoke an aggressive launch
from 1st gear, instead of the stock program 2nd gear start. If the
accelerator position is maintained or increased (> xx % open) up-shifts are
delayed as the engine stays in peak power range. If the accelerator position
is reduced the transmission will attempt to up-shift to the highest suitable
gear.
The transmission uses a cable connected to the accelerator linkage called
the "Bowden cable" to sense the position of the accelerator. The adjustment
of this cable determines at what position, engine RPM and load the
transmission program will shift. This is discussed in more detail in
subsequent sections.
Push to Pass
The GTRSS button is a fast and effective method to boost power in a passing
situation. Using the button at highway speeds, operates similar to dropping
the lever to "3". This action causes a kick down to 3rd gear and increased
acceleration.
Low Speed Operation
If you are rolling and use the button, be aware that the transmission might
attempt to seek 1st gear, resulting in very high revs and possible slipping
of the shift if the throttle is not close to fully open. If the transmission
expects the throttle to be at full position and if it is not, then the
transmission may be unable to engage the lower gear. Running at low speeds
it is best to use the shift position to avoid unnecessary slipping or jolts.
How your transmission program reacts depends on the model, adjustments and
operating conditions.

I find that the most coommon misconception about the Transmission Relay Shift Kit is that people think the TipShifter and Transmission Shift Relay kit are the same, or are combined in one unit. That is not the case - they are two separate, independent products.
The Transmission Relay Shift Kit worksk with ANY automatic shifter **** and does not touch the ****. Installation of the kit is fully concealed.

And since it's invisible, it sure looks better than a cheap $2 toggle switch.

With the Transmission Shift Relay system all you have to do is press your shifter button, and the transmission will kick down. Very easy, very quick, very simple to operate.

I am not knocking this product ....but please dont misrepresent it....
It DOES do exactly the same to the shift mechanism as a $2 switch...prettier or not....
Also....IT IS not SAFE to use all the time...if you use it as you go round a junction for example...you will spin the car....under the wrong conditions...its why my $2 switch has a $10 big red laser light attached to it...
All the best Brett
