shifting into P while driving..??
 

What would happen if I shift my Z's automatic into P or R while driving forward (especially when very fast) .. ??

:confused:

Then you better order a new Gearbox...

Ordinarily I would suggest that you try it and find out, but in this case the resulting damage could cost you thousands of dollars.

Then again, I don't know, maybe today's automatic transmissions have protection mechanisms to prevent these kind of mishaps.

So, does the car still drive forward and reverse? Does it roll in Park? :)

Even if you hit the selector by accident, it should get stuck in N rather than move to R or further.

It would probably make a very expensive noise. Why do you even need to ask?

Just curious. Sorry if you felt uncomfortable for my thread.

Take one for the team and try it... Because science!

Felix, do try and let us know. Sacrificing one

It's what happens when you supercharge a crushed ice maker .... where the results are pricey and not icey ��

Who's uncomfortable? It's just that there doesn't need to be a thread for everything that pops into your mind. "What happens when I shift into reverse when I'm driving really fast?" Exactly what you think would happen. No need for a thread.

Yeah, what was that I said in another thread about juvenile questions?... There seems to be a lot of that going around lately. This thread included.

:iagree:

Didn't they test this on Mythbusters? The shifter would shift to P or R but the transmission would not engage past N.

Since the 7AT won't change gears if it would lug or overrev the engine, I'd guess that it also will not go into R or P when you are moving forward. The FSM should have details.

If you really want to test it, get rolling at about 2-3 mph (just enough for the car to think it's moving) and slide the stick into R. If it will go into R, it shouldn't do much damage at that speed.

Use Google. Plenty of of answers on this. Not so many answers on this here.
