Any of you tools blown up your gearbox recently?

[The Boosh!]

No, You have a car people care about.

My mate managed to go from 5th to 1st in his VTR a while back, all that happened was one of his HT leads popped off. I'd have thought being a Sh*troen it would have imploded there and then.

 

[Tobs]

lol

ouch imagined the loads put on the engine and box at that speed, valve bounce bap bap bap bap bbap, woooo theres a flying rod

i blew up my tamyia mini motor last week (SET ON FIRE )

 

[Curtis!]

Can't begin to imagine the sound it must have made lol.

 

[ChrisPearson]

That pretty hard to do but we all make mistakes

my friend used to put his Saco from 5th to 1st on the motoway just for a laugh he was a strange one!

 

[Iain C]

What a winner

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

What's with all the "f**king idiot" posts?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say he didn't do it on purpose. If he's used to a lot of travel from 5th to 4th (which some cars have) then he probably just went a little too far left and caught 2nd. No one's fault but his own but he didn't hurt anyone.

 

[Alan]

Tit.

 

[brisa4984]

He shifted from 5th to 4th and instead selected 2nd. So it is possible.. sad tho

 

[DynamoDave]

Am I the only one that's thinking a 180 degree 'corner' is in fact straight on??.....:rasp:

Only kidding...know what he means really lol

 

[WILLIE]

In my old 206GTi I changed from 6k rev in 4th to 3th gear which only put the car to quick jurk and holt but was near fine after that.

Going from 5th to 2nd... That's epic.

5th to 2nd WTF Seriously?! What the f**k is the r****d doing!

I hope he f**king comes on here, I'm going to rip it out of the stupid c**t!

Wow... You sound like quite a c**t yourself there. Doing it for him.

 

[Aluco]

Apparently he pulled it out of 5th into neutral and it redlined because he still had his foot on the throttle, then he took off the throttle panicked and put it in 2nd by mistake.

 

[OLR]

He is going to need a lot of "Tool"s to fix it though :dead:

 

[Munson]

Yeah. The guy just blew up his transmission. Real, real funny.

c***s.

 

[Curtis!]

Trying to practice high level skill pedal work tabbing the throttle between changes to keep revs up on a car he's had 3 hours? :/

I think its more likely he just got the wrong gear. How would you even know what happened ?
Who are you to judge :S

Some people on here, can't see how the poor lad wrecking his box deserves the abuse on here.

Plus blipping the throttle between changes isn't "high level pedal work" ffs.

 

[Triki]

How the f**k can you shift from 5th into 2nd without knowing. its right over at the other side, its not like you can accidently put it in?

My Girlfriend says that

Out of how many drivers there is in the world, how many do/have the ability to think about doing it while thinking of all the other things going on?

You personally may think it's nothing at all, but others may see it as another complication and hard to sync

So what you're saying is you can't do it therefore its hard ?

I haven't tried as of yet, all I'm saying is it's not an everyday thing.

Chill out abit, it's like someone's properly pissed you off in the office today

They have !
Big time.

 

[rich_1989]

at the end of th day, he was prob buzzing his tits off with the power upgrade, got a bit over exited and went for a down shift for a big kick, now he is probobly being sick with anger at himself, yes other peoples mistakes are funny at times, but only a disbelief kind of funny, not "he deserves to be hung" kind of funny, he has learned his lession for sure now and he will now be doing 15 second gear changes.

 

[Greeny.]

My Girlfriend says that

lol

 

[172head]

Feel sorry for the Guy, hopefully he can get it fixed an then Enjoy the great little car he has broke!
It'd only of been funny to watch if he was trying to kick down to stop someone overtaking lol

 

[-J-]

Gutting.... I can imagine how he must feel, spending your hard earned on your 1st "nice car" and then this.Its a shame really.

agreed, you would laugh seeing it but thats a reaction, sitting here on a forum saying how much of a nob he is isnt really funny, just pointless..

+1

i know its not big or clever but me and my mate both used to have vtr's and when in 5th we'd bang um into 3rd and they pull like f*k tbf this was only to overtake something quickly or stop your friend from taking you.

this lad was most probably a little high on testosterone and tried to find 4th a little to hard and smashed it into 2nd instead.

just wondering have any of you tried going from 5th to 3rd in a clio?

 

[.Ben.]

[Aluco]

Aye but only when doing aboot 40mph.

 

[nickl360]

Can't he claim on his insurance instead of breaking it. His premium won't sky rocket next year surely?

Get it fixed and back on the road!

 

[Revels]

Claim on his insurance for what exactly?

He didn't crash.

 

[Gumby]

" it goes pretty much 180" is he on about mph? wish my 172 did that lol

180 degree bend

 

[Firmo]

Blimey, give the lad a break will you.
