Hi all.

I have a 97wrx import automatic wagon with a button on the centre console when pressed it lites up the dash with MAN (Posibly manual)

The auto box has 1st, 2nd, 3rd plus drive and sport button.

Its not tip tronic or anything like that.

Question is, what does it do.

Is it for the diffs or auto box.

Cheers.

If its the same as my Z3, it'll be for manual mode and will hold whichever gear you select. Without "man" selected, if you put it in 3 it will shift to gears 1 through 3. With the "man" button selected, if will hold 3rd (ie not downshift to 2nd or 1st).

Potentially how it works on yours too. Have you tried pressing it and seeing what happens?

Have look on this PDF

http://www.northursalia.com/techdocs...ssion/4eat.pdf


please check the this section in this PDF 1-HOLD Indicator Light (if so equipped)


Beginning in the 1990 model year Legacy, the 1-HOLD button and
light have been deleted and a MANUAL switch and light added. When
the transmission is in 3rd range, MANUAL switch “ON,” it locks out
1st gear and shifts 2-3. When in 2nd range MANUAL, the transmission locks out
1st gear and is held in 2nd gear (until 6500 RPM when it will upshift to prevent
engine damage). When in 1st range MANUAL the transmission is locked in 1st
gear (until 6500 RPM when it will upshift to prevent engine damage).

NOTE: TCU WILL ALWAYS OVERRIDE THE SELECTOR POSITION AT 6500 RPM

Pretty similar to the BMW system then.
