Not necessarily. It would be exactly the same as the zf8, where in manual mode, the driver controls when the shift is made. The computer in GMs case could still interpret the pedal signal into something of use for disengagement/engagement smoothness in its own sort of "manual" mode. The driver still has to operate a shift lever, press the pedal, and choose the appropriate time to shift in an rpm range.
