Automatic Transmission

[chiggaraccord03]

Is it possible to shift from neutral to reverse, while your car is moving forward ~30mph?

Are there any mechanism to prevent that from happening?

What kind of damages to transmission?

thanks

Um, well, you can *do* it, but since the Accord transmission is a mainshaft/countershaft setup (similar to a manual transmission that's shifted automatically), you'll either grind the gears or blow it up :eek:

If you do it make sure there is no traffic behind you and make sure to give it some gas. You will either rip a couple of teeth out of a gear or create big black smokin tire tracks.

I thought that there was a safty mechanism build in so that the only way that you could shift into reverse when over a certain forward speed was to depress the brake. I know this could still hurt the transmission. Is this not the case in newer accords...I only know on my old '95 (RIP) -- haven't tried it on the new ones.

Now that I think of it, I think you're right about the safety mechanism.....anyone wanna give it a try? :D
