Car - Toyota Celica 1997 ST. 7AFE.

I was driving at about 60 - 70 mph. I accidentaly shifted in to reverse while driving like 3 times while trying to change to 5th gear. Each shift lasted like 3 to 4 seconds in reverse at those speeds. frown.gif I know I messed up. Did I damage the transmission? frown.gif

If reverse works at all you'll be okay for a while.

The Grinding noise was it TRYING to go into reverse, but it never happened. At 70 to reverse you would have destroyed your tranny. If it actualy by some mircle held up, you would have fliped. So unless you have a tranny made of magic metal, then you've probably grinded the crap outta reverse.

You can have this serviced at your local tranny shop. You'll probably want to have the R gear replaced all together. Or Junkyard you a new one. I do not doubt it will go out much sooner because of this, Depending on how much it slips ATM is a good gauge of how much life is left on it before you have to push it out of parking spaces laugh.gif
