Other cars I’ve driven can’t just freely go into reverse while in drive, I would have to put the brake in, and press the button on the shifter. I’ve only tried going in revweae without using my brake while going less then 1mph but it worries me that the shifter can freely move into reverse while driving, is there no mechanism in the car that prevents from that happening?

    I learned the hard way on the first car I owned that if you are in reverse and in motion and then shift to drive - even if you’re going sllloooow, you can damage the transmission. I had always done that, and had to replace a transmission.

    These days, I’ll come to a full stop and then shift to drive.
