What is the manual shift on a Ford Probe?

The manual shift on a Ford Probe refers to the ability to manually control the transmission gear selection in vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission that offers a "manual" or "sport" mode. This feature allows drivers to shift gears up or down using the gear lever or, in some models, paddle shifters, providing a more engaging driving experience and greater control over the vehicle's performance. It is particularly useful for situations requiring precise power delivery, such as during acceleration or when navigating steep terrain.
