Reverse at 130MPH! Ya it works.

Yesterday on the freeway I dropped it down to 3rd gear went WOT, Hit 4th Gear and was going for 5th gear but I found Reverse gear instead. It made some grinding noise but i did not drop the clutch. Thank Gawd.

What the ****?

Anyone else have this problem?

 

did you install a skip shift eliminator? If you put it on the wrong side of the trans it disables the reverse lockout instead of the 1-4 lockout....or the solenoid could have just gone bad.

 

wow! good thing it would not engage, like metnioned above you have a solenoid to prevent this from happening

 

I dont have the skip shift eliminator but I do want one.

 

That's messed up @ 130!

 

My reverse lockout always fails. I put a new one in and some times it works and sometimes it doesn't. I just take it easy when I go for 5th now.

 

I take it easy as well after it happened to me...I caught it on tape. Pause it @ :32/ 134 mph, you can see the Reverse Indicator Lamp

^^^ooops lol, i have only gone to 5th like twice and since im already going that fast i take my time and dont bother trying to jam it in there.

 

there is no way you would ever get the car into reverse at speed, it would make that grinding sound yes, but never actually get it into gear, be careful, but if you hear that sound be ready to pull it back into neutral quick

 

i did the same thing once racing a mustang but didnt let the clutch go it scared the hell outta me
