Manual Third - Second and First Gears

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire, 2004 Chevrolet Classic, and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The transmission operates the same in Manual Third as in Overdrive range with the exception that Fourth gear is prevented. The transmission will upshift and downshift between First, Second, and Third gears as in Overdrive range. However, engine compression braking is not available in Manual Third - First and Second gears, and the vehicle will coast when you release the throttle.
