Am hoping that's the case at least - not sure what else it could be unless there's some fault in the unit somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty easy to do accidentally in the one I drove and that wasn't on a drag strip.. Practice makes perfect RAB.. The joy of cars is learning how to push em.. And I'm sure that's something you just can't wait to get out and keep playing with.. (The shifter that is..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that happen a few times at drags cos I had it in manual but hadn't pushed up on the stick so it was still automatically shifting just in performance mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 10m 13d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 04/08/14 08:44 AM Share Posted 04/08/14 08:44 AM I watched him do exactly that while I was in Melbourne SDP and his car finally got traction about 10 feet past the finish line.....lolShifting:I did notice that when we were just driving around Rab, you do have your hand on top of the shifter so could of been the 'gear change jerk' that caused you to bump it into another gear.Try putting ya hand in front of the shifter and see how that goes.1.9x 60 foot...........damn - - you've caught me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
