So the other night I was coming down the mountain with a friend behind me. We were going down it in neutral. When we got to the base and started slowing down I put the car back into drive. I gave it some gas and nothing happened. I looked down to see that I had accident shifted into reverse. I quickly put it in drive and my friend calls me saying my reverse lights came on. Since we were alone on the freeway I had him video it with his camera/phone.

I though about it after getting home and I assume nothing happened since the sport AT is tranny is computer controlled ( if you remove the air box you can see the 3 servos that are in the spot the shift linkage would normally be) and keeps the reverse gear from engaging and it is a big slip on Honda's part that we are not locked out of reverse while driving forward.

Interested if anyone else has seen this happen in their FIT

Also I have JDM tails so that is why you see the reverse light at the bottem

Why would you be cruising around in neutral in the first place?

 

well by reading your post it sounded like something happened by mistake...and you werent sure why...but after watching that video and hearing your friend tell you to go for it....im not sure what to think or why you would do that to your car anyway.....
