The manual described Elevator Feel Shift, Speed Trim, and Stall Management Yaw Damper. It describes the scenarios in which each of these systems activate and what effect they have.
MCAS uses the same hardware but has different scenarios in which it activates and has a different effect. Not knowing of the existence of MCAS and not having a viable procedure to deactivate it if it went haywire was critical to the two accidents. I've looked into this a lot and to my knowledge this was never disclosed to pilots.
Can you provide a reference to MCAS being disclosed prior to the two accidents?
