I think you mean this:

I guess its sort of but not quite manualised. not 100% correct. if you put the shifter in 3rd, the car will still use 1st, 2nd and 3rd. a manualised auto will only use the gear you select. you could launch in 3rd if you were so inclined.

These are another type of gearbox again and are just a different type of manual gearbox (still have a clutch etc). Full manual autos are just auto boxes that require the gear to be manually selected. Ford planned to release sequential manuals in the AU T-series but the idea was dropped because of high costs. One prototype falcon was built with this gearbox - the EL XR8 sequential. You can read its story here http://www.trueblueford.com/EL_Sequential.html

how much power can these 4 speeds take in theory yes, in practice no because nobody has built the hardware you need to do it yet. The shifts in the 4 speed auto's are all done electronically. Replace the electronics and add a few paddles and you got a manual auto. I did some work with this earlier in the year. Basically you need to make your own electronics to drive the solenoids in the valve body 
I had the valve body switching in the correct sequence for the gear changes and designed a board that would drive it all in car but I have too many projects going on at once and since I dont drive a 4 speed car I dont have much motivation to keep working on it. Bascically what is needed is someone with an auto to work out the ramping of the s5 solenoid and the timing of the switching and then it can be finished relatively easy.

my mates 10 second VL turbo runs a full manual Jatco, he reckons that at that power level (325rwkw) the full auto setup wont take it so they converted to full manual.

if it only drives in the gear you select.....how would it go taking off in 3rd? would it cause any damage or stall?

I am particularly interested in doing this mod to an older falcon, just because i can. so obviously each gear has its own independent solenoid, and what would happen if you didnt do anything to S5 while changing gears? also, what kind of resistance do you need to put to s5 to change?
