Re: [DMCForum] Re: Continuing Car Talk (Farrar)



All cars made nowadays will push freely from DRIVE to NEUTRAL, but you
have to press in a release button to make it shift to R, P, 1, 2.  

Lack of engine turning would cause the power steering to fail.  I think
this would be the biggest concern.  However, after the engine blows, it
won't be spinning very fast either.

I was a little disenchanted recently driving a rental INTREPID.  I was
trying to rev to get a rise out of some silly mustang.  The intrepid
would not rev over about 3k in neutral.
