I don't do any of my own trans work, I leave that up to others who know what they are doing but essentially the transbrake is a modified valve body with a solenoid operated spool valve that when activated locks the transmission in both low and reverse gears at the same time. When you let go of the micro switch, it releases the solenoid which releases reverse gear and in my case, the front suspension rockets out of the beams until I'm on the wheelie bar and just as the front wheels are coming back to earth, I'm grabbing second gear! It's a rush, you'll wonder why you evever tried footbraking at the track! After you get used to it it's much easier to cut good lights, at least it was for me.
