Could someone provide an answer to this hypothetical question. Normally to select reverse gear the selector has to be lifted and then moved back. Mine will select reverse without being lifted which isn't a problem but isn't how it should be. So the question is this, what would happen if you were driving along quite normally and you inadvertently caught the reverse lever with your sleeve and selected reverse whilst moving forward. Would it go into neutral or would something more catastrophic happen? Would the gearbox fault light come on? Looking forward to an erudite answer.
