Drive Range, Manual Third (from Overdrive Range): Notes

A manual 4-3 downshift is accomplished by moving the gear selector lever to the Manual Third (3) position. In Manual Third the transmission is hydraulically prevented from upshifting into Fourth gear under any conditions. Also, the input clutch is applied in Manual Third range to provide engine compression braking in 3rd gear. The following information explains the additional changes during a manual 4-3 downshift as compared to a forced 4-3 downshift. Refer to Overdrive Range, 4-3 Downshift - Torque Converter Clutch Not Applied  for a complete description of a 4-3 downshift.
