I was told by a friend this is more commonly referred to as a “lock out”. Here is a description of what I’m referring to: “Many vehicles on the road today are equipped with a reverse inhibitor as a safety measure for both the vehicle and the driver. This inhibitor essentially ignores the request to put the transmission in reverse while the car is driving forward until the vehicle has slowed to an acceptable speed to shift” (From the Firestone website).
apparently they come in manual or electronic variations I just can’t find anywhere that states if the LC 100 model has one.
Had a freak thing happen a couple days ago which got me curious.
Brings back memories of pulling wheelies in a JCB 3C as a kid and so without specific knowledge I would imagine the lock out is part and parcel with torque converter design .
