My limited understanding of the Lenco system is that they're a series of gear reduction units. Each 'up shift' is simply disengaging one of the 'reduction units'.
So, ........ if you're in high gear (all reduction units disengaged), ..... how do you downshift? Are they easily re-engaged????

The easiest way to understand a Lenco is that they are a series of manually operated two speed automatic transmissions stacked one behind the other. As I recall, the original ones used Buick Dynaflow clutch frictions and plates that were forced together by a ramp affair that pushed the clutch pack together to engage the gear reduction. When the clutch pack is released, the planetary disengages and the unit goes to a straight thru 1 to 1. Supposedly you can downshift a Lenco, but not under power. I would contact Lenco for verification to be sure on that though.
