I’ve nearly shifted into 2nd gear from 4th before, the car was NOT happy, but there were no explosions. Granted, I didn’t fully let up the clutch, but still. Mistakes happen.
I shift from 4th into 2nd all the time when in city traffic before taking a turn, so I’m pretty confused why that would be an issue.
Unless you wanted to shift up and brainfarted and shifted down instead. But it’s pretty hard to hammer in a gear that is way too low for your current speed. There will be a lot of physical resistance and that grinding noise before the gear snaps in.
I was going highway speeds, I was going from 4th to 5th but decided to go back into 4th (or something to that effect, it was a while ago now). The shifting itself was easy because I had the clutch in, but as soon as I started to lift off the clutch it got pissed
They may have exaggerated the risk of a money shift a tiny bit. Stalling is easy, but blowing the car up has to be hard.
