~HOLD......What is it? How do i use it?
Hold function on Auto Transmisions will alow YOU physicly change gears. Meaning if you wish to hold a gear past a red line you can. To use it, you need to press HOLD button, and move stick to lowest position (1/L) that would be your first gear. As you move through gears you reach D/3 thats your 3rd gear, while our boxes have 4 gears, to swich to fourth you will need to flick HOLD off while in D/3, if you have sufficient speed/RPMs she will switch to 4th.
~Whould this damage my box?
No, if you use it secibly. Our ATX(auto transmission) is very fragile peace of work. Main things to remember:
- 1. Never DOWN SHIFT, unless you know the RPMs/speed at which Auto mode downshifts and can change at EXACTLY that time than you can servive, other ways you will KILL our box
2. dont be stupid, use your common sence, do not hold past the red line for long. Make changes at acceptible times, dont expect your box go far if you changed from 1st to 2nd at 2000RPM at wide open throtle, that will put too much stress on your box/engine/drive line.
use it but be very CAUTIOS
