If you drop it in while moving, It will just ratchet. I have tried to destroy a T-3 automatic before by putting it into reverse and park while moving at 40 mph. It ignored reverse until it was down to about 15 mph, and just ratcheted in park until the car came to a complete stop. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
