IS the Traction Control switch a momentary switch?

Trying to find out if the TCS switch in the 98-02 f-bods is a momentary type switch?

I have a '95 TA that I'm putting a 98 center console in and want to put the "Transmission Perform" button in the slot where the TCS switch would normally go, and will need to use the TCS switch from the LS1 cars if it will work the same way the little Transmission Perform buttom works in the LT1 cars.

Both switches are momentary BUT the 98 may only have one pole and the 95 requires 2 pole. It's not clear in the schematic if the 98 switch has 2 poles or not.

Well the '95 Transmission Perform button is only 1 pole which is what I want to use it for anyway instead of TCS.

Excuse me, but what exactly is the "Transmission Perform" button?

Its a button that was an option on the 94-95 TAs that when pushed caused the tranny to use different tables in the PCM changing the shift points and increasing the main line pressures which makes the shifts firmer.
Here's some reading on how to make one in a Camaro

Also, I pulled the TCS switch out of my '99 TA and it has 5 wires going to it..don't know if that means its a 1 pole or 2-pole though.
