reverse burnouts?

[TX_Mudder]

Doing a burnout in reverse is much harder on your ring and pinion than doing it going forward.
The way gearsets are cut, they are much stronger in standard rotation (going forward) than reverse rotation (going backwards.)

Also, I don't know what tranny you have, but I have been told that both autos and manuals are the same way, much stronger in drive than reverse.


I really doubt you've done any damage. Although weaker in reverse, they are by no means fragile.
