Yeah, I put my tires on the opposite direction and it caused my tranny to **** up. Suddenly reverse was forwards and D just made it go in reverse. So I drove it around town a couple days with my reverse lights on, then got it fixed. Man, you guys dont know how much fun it is to go 90 mph backwards in reverse. I had the first RWD, Real wheel TURNING celica!

.. ok, yeah, I dunno man- yes, probably, because the tread lines; made to grip and keep water away from the tire- won't be pointed the right way- get them fixed!

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
