Car - Toyota Celica 1997 ST. 7AFE.

I was driving at about 60 - 70 mph. I accidentaly shifted in to reverse while driving like 3 times while trying to change to 5th gear. Each shift lasted like 3 to 4 seconds in reverse at those speeds. frown.gif I know I messed up. Did I damage the transmission? frown.gif

There's no way you ''shifted'' in reverse. You'd need both your arms pulling full strengh to do it.
It probably only grinded. It happens to me sometimes when my hand slips off the shift knob after releasing the clutch.
Though, it has never happened to me in reverse.
