In my Gen 4 GT the automatic modes are like this. Normal - Just moving the selector to the Drive position. (Drive light on dash on) Sport - Moving the selector to Sport position. (Drive light on dash off, Sport light on) Manual - The is engaged by either moving the selector forward or back while in Sport or using the shift buttons on the steering wheel. (Drive & Sport lights off, LED gear display on) While Manual is engaged, the only way i have worked out to put it back into normal automatic mode, is the move the selector back to the Drive position (normal). The selectable gears while in manual mode are limited by what is possible with the current speed and engine revs. Eg. max gear selectable at standstill is 2nd, and car will refuse to down change if gear at the current speed exceeds max engine rpm. My GT will not up change by itself when in manual, and will bounce off the rev limiter. But it will down change if the revs are getting to low. I have also heard that the automatics in different years behave in different ways.
