Re: pulling a stuck vehicle

Quote:
Don't ever pull in reverse unless it is an emergency (life and limb type of thing). The problem is you're putting all the stress on your reverse gears in your transmission, and they're not designed for that kind of load.

It's not the trans that has the real issues, it's the front and rear diffs, especially the front that don't like a reverse load because the gears mesh different when running back wards.
