I have also heard that with early A bodies, there was nothing to keep you from shifting front 1st into reverse. Or any other gear into reverse. Is this true?
You have got to be stoped almost before you shift into reverse, the trans will just grind, its not synchronized for that shift...
1srt is pull back toward you and down and second is up and away from you and 3rd is straight down from second, pull to you and up is reverse
