Reverse going into Neutral

[HennyAM]

Hi guys,

Today when I reversed the vehicle, the car went into "neutral" automatically (without me pressing it!). I thought it was a "fluke", but then it did it again (!) - Can anyone explain to me how this can happen? or if there is something wrong in the transmission box?

Thanks

What Aston have you got?

Sometimes happens on my DB9 if the car is not completely stationary and I press the button too quickly

Lesson learnt. New procedure:-

Put it into Neutral
Pop slippers on
Light pipe
Shmooooooke
Take off slippers
Engage reverse

Simples!


I've never had this in the V8V (that said I don't carry slippers or a pipe)

Would it make a difference Peter that yours is a Sportshift, mine is a Touchtronic

Yours is not a fully automatic box

and also it has a stupid little V8 engine which is only suitable for begginer drivers and is only fitted to the chepie Aston

Mines not even faintly automatic so neither really Never underestimate the brute on the end of the arm.

Ooh Michael. You bh. I'll let that one go. I'd really love the V12V but unfortunately having spent all my funds on new wheel centres I can't afford it.
(btw Begginer and chepie are spelt thus:- Beginner. Cheapie)

its love/hate thing....its also that the V8 is a Jag engine......and people who know me know that im not a big fan of anything Jag......although I admit I did have a DB7 i6 which was a XJS for all intent and purpose......only kidding the Vantage V8 is a great car

That Jag resolutely stuck at 65mph in the outside lane of the M11 southbound near Stanstead last night with the three inside lanes free...... I wasn't a big fan of that. The forward facing missiles saw paid to that though. V8 or no.

I would but the bike/snowboard/etc would mess up the interior terribly.
I need a hatchback. Vantage or Rapide only for me I'm afraid.

You don't get much by way of a boot.... /you don't get any boot.

Ah. Taken it off the list.

The snowboard must be able to fit in a DB9. Could you not lie it across the rear seats?

As for the bike, perhaps you should get a less gay hobby.
Or even better, a bike with an engine

I could. Mines a 158cm. Would that fit?

I could, but then I'd become fat, slothlike and need a DB9. The carbon fibre, titanium and lycra is also a big draw.

I could but that would almost certainly end in premature death. Also the leather makes me sweaty. In fact the very thought of it makes me sweaty.

I'll measure the back of mine when I get home and let you know.

Your justification of cycling was going ok until you mentioned lycra.
