Lets say maybeee, acidentally, i might have sorta shifted my truck into reverse at like 40. its an auto and the oil pressure went to zero and the light came on but the engine didn't die. I shut it off and immeadiately threw it in neutral. Not that i'm stupid enough to do this , but if the above happend, whats the worst for damage?

 

After you shut it down, did you try to run it again?

 

Most likely no damage to the engine. Might want to adjust the low/reverse band in the trans though...

 

what wanna said

 

Hey BillyBob hold my beer and watch this!

Sheared input shaft or other major internal transmission damage. Not a good way to stop the truck.

 

I'd double check for damage, but i did that to a 440/TFlite combo in a 69 coronet more than once with no damage . . at full throttle.

 

That is the only problem with the non reverse lockout floor shifters. I did the same thing in my old 340 dart with a slapstick . I thought I blew the trans apart but to my surprise there was no damage.

 

Truck started back up and I drove away, seems fine, glad to hear there's prolly no engine damage. I'll adjust the bands when I change the filter next week Wanna. Thanks guys.

 

HERES YOUR SIGN

 

that would be me

 

Don't listen to him he's jealous that he has to push the clutch in every time he comes to a stop and wants to start back out again

 

ohh that does suck...hahahaha

 

What's a floor shifter?? Mine was a column shift car.

 

Slapstick??? must have not been adj right. I have one in my Cuda, and have beat on that shifter hard! never made it go into N let alone R................but now i have a manual revers valve body, I shift away form revers not to it.
Work grate.......but slapstick ussless now

Flash.

 

I was 16 and it was out of a e body in a junk yard. I had to make it all work because my car was originally a column shift. So I didn't have the proper bracketry on the floor for the unit. I had it spaced out with washers and I'm sure I probably messed something up on the shifter when I cobbed it in there.
