Will it go into reverse?

[Rickinduncan]

My wife is now driving my box. She drove her old TR6 back in the day and I never had to buy a new tranny for it so she knows how to shift. Well, that was 35 years ago. I can't go with her because she says it makes her nervous. Fair enough. Then, last night I asked how she likes it and she said it was great fun, but added she's really careful about downshifting from5th to 4th because she doesn't want to go into reverse by mistake. It's a 5 speed base car. Last night, waiting to fall asleep, I started thinking about this. Is it possible? Could she accidentally do it? I'm pretty sure a new transmission wouldn't do much for our marriage . Or, should I just sell it and buy an automatic, thus basically signing the fun car over to her?
