Automatics With Manual Disabled

Disclaimer: I'm not happy about this.....miss my manual option.

So with that said, I know that someone on here is in my same boat. I have been able to hold it in manual on some grades where we have the mandatory stops on the top of the grades. Other than that, is there a particular speed or gear, where I can put it manual. I know before it was 45 mph or under, but it seems to be when it wants to cooperate. Not a figured out science yet. Someone on the general forum was asking about winter drivering, doable on my end...if I can figure out how to drive my newbie. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Take this to the general forum... The guys can help you better to figure out what you are asking.

In 2017 I got put in an automatic with manual option, which I hated. They didn't turn it on for quite a while because the company wanted me to drive the automatic. So when it did get turned on, I found I didn't use manual very often and I don't need it in the mountains out west here. Being in automatic and the jake brake, works just fine.. While I would rather have manual in winter weather, I've gotten used to the automatic.
