You moneyshifted. It's toast.

How is that even possible? Even the ancient ass top loader 4 speed in my fox has a gate that won't let me downshift that far.

Ya fucked er bud

How the fuck did you manage to do that?

How did you manage to shift from 5 to 1? That doesn't even make sense to me. 5 to 2 maybe. Also is totally fucked m8.

He didn't, it's a bait thread
First gear lockout prevents this and all manuals have them

>>17294901
How exactly does the lockout mechanism work? I am pretty sure I can get it into first if I reallllllly jam it in there but there is an incredible amount of resistance that doesn't go away until I am either stopped or almost stopped

Human stupidity is an extremely powerful force, anon.

>tfw didn't even know I had a reverse lockout until I took the shift boot off and saw it
>it was a shitty little piece of plastic that didn't stop the amount of force a man's arm is usually capable of
>it was always hard to get into 1st so I assumed Reverse was just similar and the transmission/shift linkage was kind of shitty.
