Anti-tunnel vision goggles perhaps?

Most automatic toyotas I have seen here are exactly like that... you're in D, need to downshift, just tap the lever to the side, very convenient..

So, if you revv'ed it all the way up in N and dropped it in D with the USA version will it cause damage?

if u did that in any auto car.....anywhere it will case damage. some cars alot faster then others but its not good for your tranny. i was told 3 drops like that in a dodge and its time for a new tranny. i was a stupid kid and on my moms high-ish milage camry (200,000km) i did it a few times and a few reverse drops (go in reverse as fast as the car will go and slam it into drive and slam the gas)..... the car still works..... but the tranny needs a bit of work now. lol, after a few times i oculd definatly feel the difference.

as for the OP, your old cars DID have 1, 2, 3, and D. (unless it was a really old auto that only had 3 gears..... if tht was ever built) the only difference is on the shifter only 1, 2, and D were shown, the 3 was the little o/d button.

I know for a fact the car will not go into Reverse if you're moving forward at more than 13km/h. But I'm not sure about going from reverse to Drive at that speed. I don't think I've ever gone backwards that fast. Plus I don't have an Slushbox to try it.

i have put a chevy uplander minivan into reverse gear at 50kmh forward...

let me tell you.. it GOT into gear and actually tried to reverse..

result was locking the wheels... and it almost felt the transmission was going to fall off. lol

It's funny doing it with a prius driving down the Hyw with someone on your ass at night. All of a sudden they have two bright lights in their face. LOL
