Hi,
(Sorry for my bad vocabulary in this topic.) I have a car with manual change. Today I needed to make a u-turn on a narrow street "A". Another narrow street "B" begins at some point on "A", and goes uphill, perpendicularly to street "A". I used street "B" to make the u-turn. The problem is that B is on a slope. In one of the movements, I was going backwards not in neutral but with the first gear and pressing the clutch. That was ok until a car coming on street "A" distracted my attention and I took out my foot off the clutch. The first gear stopped the backward movement. The car stopped and the engine stalled. During 1 second or so, the car had been moving backwards with the first gear (going downhill on street "B"). My question is: is this bad for the engine or the gear box? If so, what may be the symptoms of the possible damage?
Thank you.
