What is hold/power button in my jap 300zx auto for

i no this has somthing to do with the gear box but what

Press it in and the revs will hold on for longer before changing gear. Ie, instead of changing at 2500rpm it will hold on to a lot higher before changing for example 5000

OK....

 

This is the correct answer!!

 

Hold: Sets off in second gear (very good for snow/ice) will not allow kick down, changes gear at different points.

 

Power: Will take it to the redline in every gear before changing up! unless you back right off the throttle. Kicks down with less provocation in general use.

Ive found its something i never need to use really.

I spose 'power' would be handy if you're towing uphill and want to stay in lower gear longer, but who tows with a Z?!

Hold is only usefull on ice and only then if you have no feel in your right foot!

Bit of a gimmick IMO.

:)

Absolutely not a gimmick!!

 

Hold will allow you to set off in snow, where setting of in normal mode, ie. first gear will cause immediate wheel spin, also much gentler changing on ice.

 

I know this as I had to drive for 8 miles over snow/ice yesterday, and I can assure you normal mode wasn't cutting it, but Hold was much easier.

 

Power, is more of a gimmick, as if you boot it in normal it goes into power mode anyway!!

I use hold everyday in traffic or when I dont exactly want to go hurtling round everwherea t top speed. A very nice relaxing drive can be had when using HOLD.

 

Power is good for when you want optimum all the time.

 

It works well.

I have an idea - get a MANUAL :D That way you just put it in the gear you want - no faffin about :D
