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 coast clutch is applied in all manual ranges in order to provide engine compressing braking whenever appropriated. 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 (W/O Electronic Range Select Mode) for a complete description of a 4-3 downshift.
