Yes, no synchros for either 1st or reverse. 1st is always tough to engage when you're moving.[/quote]

When I taught my youngest brother how to drive my old convertible he did a 4th to 1st shift at 40 mph. It felt like he had slammed on the brakes. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png[/quote]

Holy crap. Thats what happened to my celica then. Ill take pictures as soon as I can. I should become an engine tester, cause if it survives my driving, then and only then can it be labeled as "bullet-proof".

I know a guy who did it in an RX-7. I think he messed up the rotor bearings and apex seals.

My friend Steve always used to shift 1-2-1 when he was learning to drive...that was in my Mom's Toyota, and it handled it fine. I think 4th to first would be a little more extreme.

It was meant to be 4th to 3rd, but you know how spazzes are. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
