Manual Downshifts

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra and 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The shift solenoid valves do not control the initial downshift for the 4-3 or the 3-2 manual downshifts. The 4-3 and the 3-2 manual downshifts are hydraulic. The 2-1 manual downshift is electronic. The solenoid states should change during or shortly after a manual downshift is selected.
