There is a minimum limit for the number of characters before the board allows a post. Try it.

Typically a 4th->2nd shift, although others happen as well. I've even seen drivers shift into reverse. However, mis-shifts are why I no longer drive manual transmissions. Ever.

i dont think this was from a mis-shift as much as i recall it being from the complete failure of a flywheel
