Question on tranny failures.

Page 522
Clutch Q/A while Shifting

Table with temp rise and other stats for WOT second-to-third, WOT third-to-second (kick-down), and closed throttle 5-to-3 MANUAL downshift.

ON WOT 2-to-3 upshift, the delta T was 100 degrees (assume C)
ON WOT 3-to-2 downshift, the delta T was 23 degrees
ON Closed throttle 5-to-3 manual downshift, the delta T was 111 degrees.

“* Clutch Q/A is not too high and is judged to be at acceptable level.”

Can someone explain what the heck is "closed throttle 5-to-3 manual downshift" ? I thought the auto box will downshift from 5-4-3 by itself when the SS is tapped back twice manually.

A 5 to 3 manual downshift is when the driver tells the transmission to downshift from 5th to 3rd by SS and tapping back twice, as opposed to letting the computer handle the shift automatically, the closed throttle part means your foot is off the gas and the butterfly valve is closed, basically engine braking in third gear.
