Will shifting into reverse in my AT hurt the transmission?

Most jets have reverse thrust to slow down, no reason it wouldn't work for you



And guys, its not a crappy toyota or honda at all


its a loltec sirius

really? that's surprising. i had an 89 camry that had a lockout. i guess it's cost savings.

those lockouts do wear down, and in some cases wear out. my friends old monte carlo had a push button to put it into gear, but it would slip half the time and allow you to put into reverse by accident.

i put an amc javelin into 1st gear at 60 mph to avoid hitting a truck once. i thought it would blow the engine, but we stopped FAST. manual trans on that car was fun, was a 3 spd and would pop out of 3rd gear when you hit the gas pedal too hard.

The 5S-FE does alright with a turbo..might not last quite as long as a 3S-GTE, though.

5S-FE + turbo = bending rods at 6 psi while making 165 HP And spending $5,000 on a forged bottom end and head work and never getting past 300 BHP. The FE heads are just plain wrong

The 5S-FE is a damn good workhorse however.

Link?

I don't know anyone who would spend $5k on a forged bottom end and head work on a 5sfe..better to put a 3sgte head on the 5s block and make a 2.2 stroker.

you read your transmission wrong. in japanese race cars, "R" is a super-secret turbo race gear. you shift there when you want to go really really fast, tokyo-drift style.

Straight up, yo.

Well, there is no shortage of stupid people when it comes to car mods...one look at the pic I posted above demonstrates that.
