transmission hold light

[Joe W]

After looking at a friends '89 MX-6 for a trans problem it seems the car won't go into any gear and the "hold" light on the dash blinks steadily.Any ideas?

[Mediocrity]

the "hold" light is for preventing the car from going into overdrive, IE Not Shifting... should be a button for turning that off..

Did you ever fix the hold light issue? I have the same issue, but "pushing the button" doesnt do anything.

[Joe W]

It turns out that the tranny was out to lunch...hope you have a better outcome.

[Mr Wiggles]

I was afraid of that, thanx anyways

if you guys read your owners manual the hold light is for preventing an up and down shift like in drive at a stop if the hold button is pressed it will take off in second it is made for like snow kind of like a traction control wbu wipes out your foreward clutches if done a lot because it creates a slip
