My civic's engine blew up Part 2

[disappointed]

Carby equipped cars you could over rev an engine during a mis shift. Thats why companies like MSD ignition and the like make changeable crev limit chips for their after market ignition systems. Computer controlled engines have the rev limiter/over rev built in.

Have you driven a manual car? Or should I say are you driving a manual car?

I am driving a manual car, I'm telling you, you are physically possible to shift 5th into 1st, but my IQ is higher than 50, so I would not do it.

I think we are unable to convince you in theory, I know it is unethical to tell you to do this this but as I said before, please don't talk about not possible to shift until you have tried even we warned you that you could damange your car.

I have four manual vehicles, have driven manuals for 28 years, have been a mechanic for nearly as long. In theory you can say what you like , in practise you would blow your gearbox up in a thousand pieces, if you were physically able to. If you can drive your car at 100km/h, you should theoretically be able to shift back to 1st at 100 ks. But a Honda civic, Nope. Try it, any body.

mmm.. I'm speechless... nvm.. very supprised you are a mechanic and driven a manual for 28 years.

I'm very confused about your answers.. you sounds like 13 yr old for me.

Ok, forget it, lets go back to the topic.

Onion. As soon as the revs go lower than the set point ignition and or fuel starts up instantaneously. Secondly you will physically not be able to move the gear lever into first gear at 100km/h.

you can in second, and third and forth....

That would make me 10 years older than you, in theory.

He was saying "FIRST" was he not.

[Bludger]

He was saying "FIRST" was he not.

you're just pointing out the technicalities, he was just using an example.......... I think you know what we're on about, you just want to be anal about it

I think you are still confused, you can drive up to 100km/h in 2nd gear without damaging your engine/drivetran, but in first gear, it will die, but it is possible, there is no physical locking device from you to do such a stupid action.

How about you go out now and give a try and tell me you can or you can not.

what has this got to do with bob_san?
he can't answer his own critics?
so you come in and be a hero for him yeh?

[disappointed]

Oh no, Onion actually means from fifth to first at 100km/h. Read the posts. I' ve been through this before with Onion.

[disappointed]

Not everyone here is technically minded or has the experience, to say things as they are, judging by this topic. There is enough misinformation out there. Sometimes you just have to say something. Sorry, I won't do it again.

I know it can't be done, even at much slower speeds than 100km/h. Try it at 60 or 70 and you'll notice how much more effort is needed to put it in first gear. And it only amplyfies the greater the speed.
