God damn it, I tried to shift and went from D to N.

Amuse370z · 08-04-2013, 05:19 PM

How bad did I mess the car up? I went from D to N at about 40km when I wanted to make a left turn, I quickly let go of the throttle and popped it back to D right away.

I'm still breaking in the car and only has 1.3km.

Not at all. If there were a negative amount, that's how much you would have damaged it.

DEpointfive0 · 08-04-2013, 05:21 PM

Nothing, you're ok

Amuse370z · 08-04-2013, 05:25 PM

Thank god, scared the hell outta myself! The sound it made was scary too.

damn, wats with dogs and girl friends messing with the shifters?

My response as in a similar thread.......If you farted, sneezed, scratched your butt, scratched yourself then touch something in the car and left skin cells, you probably did less damage.

D to N is fine. There's a reason why it can be shifted into it without having to press the unlock button on the shifter. But going back to D is like a neutral drop haha.

If you think that's emberassing or scary imagine being at a stop light jamming out and your gf Ninja shifts your Z from D to N....didn't talk to her for a week

Going from D to N would not be a problem......You could completely stuff the transmission by going from N to D though. Contrary to some morons beliefs, that is NOT the way to do AT burnouts! :P

Amuse370z · 08-05-2013, 01:12 AM

So I might've caused damage when I quickly popped it back into D?

I just hope it never happens to me again.

I don't even know why they didn't put on an unlock button for moving the shifter from D to N.
