reverse and stalled

[00firebird]

earlier i pulled up to a light and realized i wanted to go right instead, so i hit the gas back, and then apparently i put it back into drive too fast (a4) and the car jolted, kept going backward, and then wouldnt go forward. so i paniced thinking i ruined teh tranny, put on the hazards, turned teh car off, put it in park, turned it back on, put it back in drive, and PHEW it went. is this a 'stall?' im not sure what i did, also could there be any other possible damage? it got home fine. thanks

Damn dude. your lucky noone was behind you. I say you shouldnt jump into your gears so fast. it is a auto. they are complicated machines.

I did that when I put my shift kit in. I still had it up on stands and jacks and was testing each gear. I finished and didn't think about hitting the brake to stop the wheel's from spinning before I slaped it into reverse and then into park :eek: you ever have that feeling where you can feel your nuts shrinking? well it turned out that didn't mess it up any so that was good.

Ya I was going in reverse going about 5 mpg and put it in park and the thing made a grinding noise. So I went up the rode and it shifted ok. This was back when I still had my Firebird. I miss my f-body. So I think if you weren't going backwards vary fast then I think you should be ok.
