Why is neutral between reverse and drive?
Why is neutral between reverse and drive?
Internally, the neutral gear also helps the automatic transmission gears transition more smoothly from being in the drive position to the opposite reverse position. And in the dire situation where your car’s brakes aren’t working, putting your car in neutral can help it gradually slow down (unless you’re on a hill).
Why does my truck go into park with the neutral switch on?
With the neutral safety switch on the column it certainly is possible that the problem is in the linkage to the transmission. Maybe I read too much into the OP’s statement that he checked neutral and it goes into park just fine. Maybe the OP will try to push the truck with the lever at Park and post back.

Can a car go FWD in reverse and neutral?
It goes fwd in both reverse and neutral. It goes into park just fine. The fluid is full and not burnt. It will drive forward when in reverse and in neutral. I turned the engine off and checked neutral, it was not in gear but tried to go forward as soon as I started the engine. I have never seen this! Rod_Knox July 6, 2016, 2:56am #2

How does the transmission work in a Lincoln?
If, say 3rd, is selected, the transmission will stay in 3rd gear until another is selected. It won’t up shift (will hit the rev limiter) nor downshift. But the only “D” gears (1-4 or 1-5) are D4 & D5. The others are just 3, 2 & 1. If, say 3rd, is selected, the transmission will stay in 3rd gear until another is selected.
