Surely the action of moving the gear-lever out of 3 or 4 would release the solenoid and the OD wouldn't be engaged? Unless, like Julian, you were extremely unlucky and the solenoid had stuck.Dave

On a similar note, I've been a passenger in a 3 series BMW (the early type one) and mate who was driving shoved it in to park accidentally, there was a lot of noise followed by the car skidding to a halt
Amazingly it survived the abuse

Personally, I'd be a bit careful of this. 'J' types particularly do sometimes seem to take a little while to switch back to direct drive, especially when cold. Only a second or so, but it might be enough time....Originally posted by Bob Heritage View Post
