94 AutoMatic Tranny. "HOLD" What does that do?

[acespdz]

Hi everyone, This is my first Automatic Mx-3 and I don't know what the "HOLD" function is for.. when to use it or anything IF someone could help me out that would be great.

it is for a lockup torque converter. so if your going up a hill and the car is lugging hit the button and it locks up the converter and throws it down a gear, and keeps it from changing gears. so you can more easly make it up the hill. in a "nut shell" thats how its supposed to work.

heh dont use hold unless your gonna swap to a 5 speed and wanna burn your atx up right before you do the swap. I burnt mine up and had to buy another car.
