987687 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 You can't shift into reverse when you are going forward. For one, reverse is usually not synchronized, and even if it was it would be like trying to shift into first. Just doesn't happen, unless you really push on the shifter hard and really burn your synchros... But that would definitely take longer than whatever he did. He probably went from redline 3rd to 2nd and dumped the clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Sure. clutch goes in, you move the stick, clutch comes out. Not that hard Seriously though, i don't know how people can mess up and get the wrong gears. I've 'tried' a couple of times, but you get the mother of all graunching, which sorta screams "WRONG GEAR KNOB JOCKEY" at which point you say oh **** and stop trying... you actually have to persevere though that, then dump the clutch on the poor car to get it in gear... On the subject; the car i was going to buy, a 95 TT GT, got snatched before i could get the deal. Was ok, wasn't exactly what i wanted anyway. I got a txt from the guy selling a day later telling me the guy who did buy it was raping it up an onramp. He had reached the end of 3rd, and then managed to find 2nd, instead of 4th, and whizz-pop-bang, he blew the gearbox to bits, AND the engine to bits. Good job, i hope he liked his new car.

JoeFromPA Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I've seen this happen frequently on hondas driven by young kids. The combination of very tight gearboxes, very easy-going shifters, and idiocy seems to encourage it. Most do a 3rd to 2nd shift at redline but catch it as they are letting off the clutch. A quick spin up to 9000 rpms isn't good for the engine, but it can take it once or twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmoe Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 "WRONG GEAR KNOB JOCKEY" :lol:....Knob jockey.... :lol: There should be a light for that. Just simply lights up "KNOB JOCKEY" on the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
