Well, to paraphrase page 6-11 of the official '92 SVX Manual, "Manual" is not intended to turn the car into a stick shift, although some of you may have "creative" ways to do this. No, "Manual" is simply a way to lock the tranny into second & third gears, in order to deal with something called snow & ice. Nor does "Manual" have anything to do with the guy trimming your hedges. To those that HAVE found a way to make a "Huckmobile" out of the tranny, I believe "Manual" will apply to the labor required to scrape the eventual grenaded tranny-bits off the road.

Right you are, Ron. In other words, the "Manual" button locks out 1st gear, allowing you to take off in 2nd to avoid wheel spin on take-off on snowy or extremely wet roads.
