it will not

go into reverse while moving very fast.

of course i am not about to try it out. my luck the interlock or whatever does it would be out!

now a 1950 pontiac with hydromatic will do it! one of my high school buddies tried it and didnt wreck his tranny. those hydromatics were TOUGH! and when mercedes built their first automatic they looked very closely at it and built a very similar but more compact tranny.
