I put wife's A6 on reverse gear while drving at 60km hour. Is the transmission gone? It was an automatic

mikeh

Does it still work?

mikeshin92

can you even put your car into reverse doing 60km/h? I've never tried it...

mikeh

OP stated that he put the car into reverse while doing 60. The post doesn't tell us anything else. You do have a great question. Its something I have never tried on purpose or by mistake?

So I put it into reverse because I do not drive automatic and I forgot the gears. I just wanted to shift down. Than I added gas and the car did not respond. The tranny never engaged the wheels. It works perfect for now...?

mikeh

If its working perfect as you say... then let it go and count your blessings.

mikeshin92

it probably never engaged into reverse... if it did, you would've felt it i bet.

adamstasiak

It did not engage at al
l Is there some safety mechanism involved or should I tow it tomorrow to the mechanic for check up?

mikeshin92

i'm guessing it never did if you didn't hear anything. but i have no clue if there is a safety mechanism or not.

mikeh

You said its working perfectly. Don't waste your money just drive it.
