Basically, i was on my way home,and the low fuel light came on. So what I usually do when this happens is I put my truck in neutral and then turn it off and back on then the light goes off.The reason I do this, is because,I have to go down this steep hill and when I do,the low fuel light comes on, even though I have about a quarter tank most of the time. But anyway today, I accidentally put it in reverse while I was in drive .I don’t think it damaged the transmission any, But my truck jerked when It went into reverse. I don’t think it went into the reverse gear all the way but, I don’t know, I was in reverse for about 2 seconds or so then, I put it back into neutral then drive. When I got home I put it in reverse and everything seems okay.

what do you guys think. Is my trans okay or not


i have a 2001 Ford ranger edge 4.0 4x4

it has 180,000 miles on it

its an automatic

I wait until I’m at the bottom of the hill to turn it off and on, because it’s level at the bottom. probably should wait until I come to a stop to reset it.

Well you do have a point there.

idk, I guess where I’ve done it for so long,it’s became a habit I guess. I’ve never really thought about it.
