Re: put it in reverse on the highway

You put the auto into reverse whilst travelling at 100km/hr ??? If that was true I'd say that you screwed your auto , sorry I can't get more technical than that I don't know much about autos... some guys will give you some more info hopefully...

Re: put it in reverse on the highway

mate stalled his car (auto..don't know how he did it) whilst moving...very loose column shift- its really easy to skip gears...so went for N and ended up with Park....was doing 60kmh.
It didnt really do anything...kinda grating noise but all still A Ok. The whole thing works properly still...weird...

Re: put it in reverse on the highway

wouldn't a 95 model car of any type with an auto be electronically controlled, and not let it shift if it's too dangerous?

what actually happened when you shifted it into reverse? i guess nothing, otherwise your gearbox would be covering quite an area :D

Re: put it in reverse on the highway

i have shifted mine into reverse while moving, the car either stalled or shut off, but the trans wasnt damaged. i was prolly only doing 50kmh though.

Re: put it in reverse on the highway

same here
Nothing happened, other then the car wanted to come to a complete stop, only doing about 60 at the time though. Was there for only half a second though.

Re: put it in reverse on the highway

Cant believe im admitting to this but ive done that on my T5 at about 45kmh when i thought i was selecting 4th. It made one hell of a crunch , i dont think it actually went into the gear tho.....but it all seems to work now..
