Can a car go FWD in reverse and neutral?
It goes fwd in both reverse and neutral. It goes into park just fine. The fluid is full and not burnt. It will drive forward when in reverse and in neutral. I turned the engine off and checked neutral, it was not in gear but tried to go forward as soon as I started the engine. I have never seen this! Rod_Knox July 6, 2016, 2:56am #2
