I shifted from neutral to reverse once, while going about 60mph forward. (Non-intentional, I must add). It actually went into reverse. The rear tires locked up, but I was able to quickly shift back to neutral and coasted to a stop on the side of the road. I expected to see transmission fluid leaking out, a bent drive shaft, etc. Nothing wrong. Cranked back up and continued on my way. This was in a Plymouth Arrow (I believe it was a Mitsubishi product), circa 1980. Bob R.
