Luke is actually suggesting that you would've had to have changed from "1" to "2" or "D" after you accelerated heavily in 1st.
Having the rears lock up while travelling straight shouldn't change the path of the car, just slow it down heaps. But I'm repeating myself and others here... |

yer well i'm just saying what i experienced
the path would change if the road you're traveling on when you lock up is on a bit of a slant, i'd say |

how much of a slant are we talking?
Roads in general have a camber ranging from -3% to +6%. And urban streets tend to have SFA camber changes. As for vertical slopes, roads generally have +/-5%. You're grasping at straws here. |

He's got a minispool though... equal power to both wheels, so the car shouldn't pull to either side.

I don't know how it could have gone into reverse though if you didn't touch the gearlever.

Wow I never knew about the torque causing the RHS wheel to lift! That's cool as :P
I would've thought maybe the fuel tank being offset to the left would've done this? I still find it hard to believe it'd do this, after all the directional force is wanting to pull in the opposite direction when travelling forwards yet having reverse selected. |

i did a nasty accidental into reverse in my old 76 f100 ambulance, the column selector moved fairly easily through the gear shift detent (well worn)i knocked it with my arm reaching for something on the dash board, sent here in a bit of a slide down the freeway,it stalled the engine...... i got it restarted and drove off no visible damage ......except to 20 years off my life, gave me some incentive to have a good look at the auto linkage and tighten it up abit and be a little more carefull, bound to be more movement in the motor and auto with old rubber mounts as well, all has some influences on these things

I cant see how that can happen generaly autos have a lock system that stops you from going into reverse from drive.And the way i see it if you want to drive your car like a manuel you should have brought one or converted yours then this sought of thing wont happen.plus driving autos like manuels stuffs them up in the long run

There is a speed over which the PCM wont allow the trans to engage reverse, but I can't remember what it is.

correct, reverse will not engage above a certain speed.
just like you won't be able to engage 1st gear at 100km/h

i did it last night, at about 50kmph this time (no acceleration) the wheels skidded for a second then stalled, image if i accelerated
i did it a few more times but sometimes it won't even go in reverse some people thinkn i might have had copression lock up when i floored from 1st.. hit second.. then ecu got confused?? thus locking the rear up - i can't redline my rpm it automatically changes from 1st to second when it gets to 5k rpm(even when stick is still in 1st) anyway this is a dead thread let is rest in peace |

Dude! Once by accident is bad enough! Don't keep on trying! Unless you like changing gearboxes....

Also, some gearboxes are stronger than others, and the gear box in his car *was* in very good condition. (Atleast it was when I had it). However after this ordeal I do beleive it will be very shot. Used to be a very tough, tight box when I had it :( SupahStah

Yeah I ground my feet into that nigga's couch! Why? Because he could buy a new one! Cocaine is a hell of a drug! And you're a smacktard for repeating the process. Supastah: No I haven't applied the handbrake to see what happens to the rear. What speeds are we talking about here, and do you mean with the car travelling straight with both wheels on bitumen? |

At 60km/h, change of momentum. (The rear will loose traction). It does make a difference that he is not accelerating, but once the rear has no traction it wont drive streight. Not nessisarily go around, but get a little out of shape. And if it was in reverse, there would have been a fair bit of torque shift, and probably would have helped shift it out of shape. Well, thats what I reckon anyways. I'm no expert though lol I didnt mean to offend or anything Ghia5L, jus jumping in with an explanation lol

Nah mate I didn't see it as offensive at all. I find Kyro's blatant abuse of an E-Series as offensive though :P
All I see a car doing, if it is travelling in one direction whilst its rear wants to travel in the opposite direction (and the car maintains a straight course), is merely slow down. |
