What would happen if I were driving on 5th gear at 120 km/h and then switched to first gear? - eviltoast

I imagine it would destroy the engine and the transmission, but it’s just a guess.

    It’s called a “money shift”, and, assuming there isn’t a gate or interlock in the transmission to stop you, you will massively over rev the engine, and destroy it.

    There’s a few videos on YouTube of it happening.
