you spin out and forget to clutch in and start heading backwards… does your tranny explode? I’ve always clutched in when it happens out of natural instinct and now I’m curious since a friend brought it up…I’m not going to try it for kicks either… ---

you would either stall if you didnt have enough gas, and your motor would start to turn backwards, sort of like jump starting but the wrong way. or you would do a burnout if you where ripping it ---

Ok wait, is the gas being applied or no? we didnt clarify this yet. My bet no gas tranny takes a dump and engine stalls if you give gas you spin those mothers and make them burn ---

yeah, engine will turn backwards… hopefully you wouldn’t coast for too long, because your oil pump doesn’t work when the motor’s going anti-clockwise. ---

i’ve done it many times on the track if you keep throttle to the floor you’ll just smoke them even if your in 2nd or 3rd gear as long as you have enough power the moment it doenst make any more jam it will stall, and yes, it could take a couple of rotations backwards, I used to think that this could cause the timing chain on the sr20 to skip a few teeth due to its one-sided hydraulic tensioner style, but it never did ---

it doesnt do any damage to the tranny, but you might aswell push the clutch since its a instinct. ---
