To a point. You can shift it into L and it wont try and shift. Then go to 2 and it will shift there and stay. Then go to D and it will go manually. On down shifting the newer ones will not allow you to go back down unless the transmission is below a certain speed. But you can still get some back pressure if you go from D to 2 or 2 to L. It does assist you in stopping if that is needed. Usually this is helpful if you are pulling a load and going up or down a hill. By keeping it in a gear you select the car wont have to work so hard going back and forth between gears. Also not work the brake so hard on the down hill side.

Could it be a fairly simlpe fix or am I losing my transmission? Yeah Dopey!
