I used to like doing burnout's in reverse in my friends S-10 Blazer that had a 4.3. We used to try and whip the front end around...
my friend did that in a ford ranger and flipped. wasnt even going fast. it was in a neighborhood...there was a bunch of us and we just flipped his truck back over :eek:
1999 v6 Camaro M5 Automatic to Manual converted Pacesetter Headers, 2.5" Custom True Duals with X-Pipe and Magnaflow Bullet Muffers,
!cat, Intake, 3.42's with LSD, MSD Wires, Drilled/Slotted Rotors, Hurst Short Shifter, Tuned PCM
they are straight cut gears, which are usually stronger than helical cut gears
regardless, its not good for them. my neighbor did a reverse burnout in his 3.8 mustang ( M5 ) and blew his trans.

Well said; is that even possible though? I don't think you can get at a high enough speed to do a reverse burnout.
most reverse gears are roughly the same size as 1st.
the escort i had for the winter did almost 30 in reverse. i used to go WOT in revese and whip it around. that poor car got the crap beat out of it ALL day long everyday. i used to do 25 or so backwards, drop it in drive, pull the e-brake up and do insane burnouts, crossing parking lots ect. reverse donuts were hard, it kinda spun the tires too much and id get half way around and the tires would be roasting.

I've always had the impression that because there is a lot more surface area on helical gears than straights, that's what makes helical gears the stronger one and why on both autos and manuals, reverse is a straight cut because it doesn't see the kind of torque values as the forward gears, which are usually helical.

it should see the same amount of torque that first gear does since they are being engaged at roughly the same rpm
take a look at some of the strongest transmissions, and racing transmissions they will almost always be straight cut gears.. the only reason for helical was to keep noise down
take for instance, the m22 vs. the t56, or the t5
the gear itself isnt what makes it strong, its the way the gear is engaged (i guess thats how to word it)
i cant seem to think of why reverse would be straight cut.. since most straight cut gears cost more to produce
and to Leonard 3.8L, its not speed that causes burnouts, its the power that breaks loose the tires.. something has to spin or something is going to snap

yep, its geared low so theres alot of tq going to a gear thats not meant to be spun fast/suddenly like that. its not good. i would never do a reverse burnout in any car i cared about.

You got a good point (sun assemblies, etc.). All in all, considering that my car is my transportation (tire cost, trans work cost, etc.), I keep out of spinning the meats (either direction) as much as possible. Racecar's another story altogether (only forward still).
wow, this turned out a little different than i thought. this thread, meant mostly as a joke, turned into an information fest...interesting affect a strange, and ridiculous concept has on people
ehh... I used to hit reverse hard a few times in my 94 on the first tranny I killed... yeah like a month after dumping the clutch pretty hard in reverse, I lost the ability to put the car in reverse.
It sucked.
now autos, they can take more abuse, I used to get up to like 35-40 in my 85 camaro in reverse, throw the wheel, put it in neutral redline it, then slam it into drive worked *** and tore the **** out of the car...
Still trying to find oil leak on my Camaro, it’s a tough one. I think it is the oil pressure sender myself. Leaking when raving and going into boost....
