Put Car in Reverse While Going 15mph - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Alott53 · 06-09-2015, 07:31 PM

Not too long ago I was driving down the street and my elbow hit the reverse gear while I was driving forward at 15mph. There was a whining noise during that moment but the transmission seems to be working fine now. Should I be worried that I damaged anything? Yes it's an auto...Please don't bash me on having an automatic FRS.

You went from drive to neutral to reverse while moving, hence the grinding. Probably no severe long term damage if it works fine so far, I wouldn't be careless and do it again though can't be too good for the clutch packs

Edit: people are saying you can't even get out of drive a safety feature on all cars is that you can easily slide the lever from drive to neutral at any point without pressing anything.....

BLAH, I see you drive a auto. Ignore what I typed.

The autos are smart, they'll disengage and won't actually go into reverse saving your gearbox. If you're travelling forward fast.

how do you go reverse traveling 15mph? i thought you need to step on the brakes to be able to switch to reverse?

Automatic with intelligence. I believe all new Toyota's are like that. Can shift into reverse while going forward with nothing bad happening. Great for tailgaters. Haha

Don't u have to press the botton on shifter to go in reverse?? ...😰

Obja · 06-10-2015, 01:58 AM

it's okay to drive an automatic, there's nothing to be ashamed of ahahah

fitcious · 06-10-2015, 02:01 AM

I was pondering this 2 days ago! Not willing to try this on a brand new car. Thanks for posting this! :P

Btw, I have an auto. Only people who have said something about it were kids who drive rusted out/beat to hell Honda Civics.

I'm not sure I understand....how did you pull up on the reverse lockout by accident and hit reverse? Does your car have mudflaps, the rally editions of these cars could do full reverse at 80+ MPH.
