Default i royally fucked my car up. HELP!!!

yeah i was driving today and i was reaching for my radar detector and i threw my car into reverse on accident cuz i wasn't looking where i was reaching...and i heard a pop like i blew the gear out... but then i put it back into drive real fast.

Now when im parked and put my car in reverse it makes a VERY loud noise, and reverse doesn't work

could this be fixed without having to buy a new tranny

Isn't the button on the shift lever supposed to prevent that from happening? I guess you changed the shift lever huh?

you might be a lucky bastar* if you don't blow the reverse gear... but curious to know, how can you get into the reverse gear while the gear is in D position? OR, what were you doing other than reaching for the radar?

On the upside, I just replaced a tranny for under 1600.

Not trying to be a "smart one" or nothing but... you are supposed to add in your title what year, model and what the problem could be instead of saying "I really f****d my car up"...
That's just kind of disrespectful and makes your "story" sound even more dumb!
Sorry, I had to say it.

yes, but he does have a valid point about the thread title. Some people need to make better thread titles.

yeah, if Knightsport ever came into this thread this dude would be losing points for sure. swearing in the subject line is against the rules here.

yeah there is someting your leaving out. did you change your shifter lever. it is nearly impossible to put it into reverse from the drive position. neutral yeah but not reverse. i have tried myself and without force, a brush agaist the lever ain't going throw it into reverse.

Yeah you definitely need to overhaul your tranny. You probably blew the idler gear to ****, maybe even the input shaft...you'd be better off going for a new tranny... maybe consider a 5 speed swap... Good Luck dude...

how fast where you going when this happend?

i have done that, but i have a aftermarket auto stick.
I was in a parking grage, going down went in N then i went up on the stick, then "ClacK"! went in reverse. Lucky i was going 5 mphs or less and my gear still works.

try to put a tranny leak fixer or sumthing to see if it will catch.

I guess I should Adjust my own glasses.I don't know how I missed the title.
And I agree with titles like this and people still wonder why the search feature doesn't get good results all the time.
