Suppose while changing to 4th gear from 5th in a moving car, if we by mistake change to reverse what happens?

Question

What happens to the manual and auto gear cars in this condition?

Answer 1

With a manual transmission you would find it very, very hard to get it into reverse while traveling forward. An auto will go into reverse while going forward. Either an auto or manual transmission would be destroyed if you put it in reverse while going forward at cruising speed.

Answer 2

Most cars have a safety interlock to prevent changing from a forward gear into reverse by mistake. You have to try really hard to do this. But, if you succeed, there will be a grinding noise and a damaged gearbox!

Answer 3

It would not go into reverse however the dog teeth would make an extremely loud grinding noise. I know how a manual transmission works and the car won't go into reverse if it's moving forward.

Answer 4

the same as you r running a sprint forward and suddenly try to run backwards for some funny reason while still moving forward. Inertia wont allow you to do that and if you still persist you will land up in a hospital , now imagine the same with the car, and it will end up in a garage for repair. you wont be accidently shifting to reverse while moving from 4th to 5th gear unless you quarrel with the gearstick.

Answer 5

Most manual trannys have a safety that does not allow this to happen. You must be stopped or in neutral to go back in reverse gear.

Answer 6

the reason it may harm your gearbox is with the aid of the fact the opposite cogs rotate in a distinctive direction to the forward gears and in case you are trying to work together first kit whilst shifting in opposite the greater beneficial torque utilized ought to harm the gears themselves or the synchro meshing factors that make tender kit changes greater handy.human beings might placed the gearbox into 1st kit from opposite yet they are unlikely to have lifted the take carry of to work together the engine with the gearbox until the vehicle has stopped shifting backwards. accidentally doing this at sluggish speeds and eye-catching the take carry of to end the engine powering the gearbox won't be able to have led to any problems.At your next provider ask to work out the drain plug from the gearbox that is magnetic and possibilities up any shards of metallic that come of gears while they are used wrongly or aggressively you will probable get some deposits whether you're very mushy which includes your using yet assorted metallic might require an inspection which regrettably is expensive. although if the gearbox seems to be using nicely regardless of assorted metallic interior the oil basically get it flushed with the aid of and shop on using.

Answer 7

about 16yrs ago, my brakes went out while i was driving down a hill, so i threw the car in park to "stop". it just made a rapid clicking sound,(which scared me) and i put it back in drive. i only did that once but nothing happened. in reverse, it would probably be the same case but in manual, it won't let you put in reverse while going forward.

Answer 8

manual you can destroy the syncromesh and blow the gear box.....

same story auto but without the syncro mesh....

wont generally happen if you just do it once by if you do it more than a few times expect trouble.

I still cant see how you could do it in an auto.. unless you try

Answer 9

it wont let you. the synchro wouldnt be able to mesh the gears. if you forced it into gear, youd shread your synchro and maybe more of your tranny in the process.

autos can because they have a torque converter, which is a viscous coupling, which distributes the force over a longer time, making it better able to cope with it.

Answer 10

In a manual it would just grind, wouldnt let you do it. In an auto you would not be able to shift the selector.
