all lock up massages here are about the brakes
but for the first time ever i managed to lock up due to improper gearing...
for some dumb reason I went from 2nd to 1st at high rpm's
Honestly, I was at a roundabound and was tailgaiting a Q5 driver that popped in front of me, thats why the tailgaiting.
He decided to slow down, to pi** me off I guess, and it worked, because I wanted to make a lot of noise when accelerating away, but instead of upshifting, I downshifted..
I heard my tire squealing and luckily had the reflex to pull the clutch...
But I bet a did make a scary impression towards the Audi driver.
Technically, can one destroy or damage the engine or trans from such a lock up? :/
High reving engine, but wheels don't turn (although briefly) doesn't sound like a healthy combination..
