What does 6 speed shiftable automatic transmission mean?
An automatic transmission would never require you to shift gears except for the standard Park, Reverse, Drive, Neutral, etc. Some offer a triptronic transmission that allows you to shift gears (such as for gas mileage purposes, etc.)
What will happen if a person suddenly shifts from "Drive" to "Reverse" or "Park" while driving at a fast speed?
Either nothing (the car is sufficiently stupidproofed, you’ll be coasting out of gear), a sudden abort (the car is semi-stupidproofed, it won’t go into reverse, but it will protest mightily), or some level of mechanical catastrophe (the car is not sufficiently stupidproofed, has been tampered with, or has become defective…and will abruptly become much more defective).I can tell you that one fine day, I shifted a automatic ’98 Jeep Cherokee into reverse at 50mph. It didn’t really go into reverse (thankfully), but it did affect an immediate full stop (it made standing on the brakes look and feel gentle) and killed its engine.As frightening and surprising as that was (the ‘shift’ was unintentional; hand had brushed the lever and apparently the shift lock had not engaged), and despite the show (the Jeep immediately did its best to stand on its nose as the accidental engine brake was applied, there was much vibration and a very sad, near subsonic groan), it was much better than a mechanical apocalypse.And, thankfully, no one was immediately behind me.After sitting for a minute (while traffic backed up, it was a one-laner), I said “what the hell the tranny’s ruined or it isn’t” and worked the ignition.It fired right up and I’ve put 40 or 50 thousand more miles on it. Not a hint of powertrain trouble.Good thing that Jeep is somewhat stupidproofed and amazingly insensitive, cause … I’m driving it.
How would you drift a 2005 g35 coupe 5spd auto with vdc off?
Not easily, and not without some damage to your auto tranny. You'd have to put it in neutral as you're turning, rev it up while in neutral, and then drop the transmission into D. you should be able to generate wheelspin that way w/o VDC, but you will also do some nice expensive damage to the transmission.
