Misstaking 6th gear with reverse?
Hello, I am new to this forum but I have ridden in a 350Z and I JUST LOVE THAT CAR!!! I have a silly (maybe) question though. Do you guys put in Reverse if you try to shift fast from 5th to 6th?

It's physically impossible to do, even if you tried. You'd hear a grinding sound but the gear would not engage.
The potentially dangerous downshifts are 6th to 5th and 5th to 4th.

Mistaking 1st for 3rd or 2nd for 4th is "potentially dangerous".
He's talking about 6th to 5th meaning messing up and putting it in 3rd
and 5th to 4th meaning putting it in 2nd...get it?

meant.
I don't think you can do 4th to 1st, it's pretty hard to downshift into first unless you're going very slow...

yeah its impossible. I remember when i first got my car i didnt push down far enough and id let the clutch out a little and it would try to roll forward. Took me about 3 times to realize i was in 6th lol. Yeah those shifts are a little dangerous just be careful and dont go over too far.

yeah, i'm always in 6th gear. The only thing is some people who have exhaust, it will be very boomy at such a low rpm so they can't use 6th gear at low speeds. I'm amazed at the tq this car has still accelerating around town in such a high gear.
