Default From 5th to 6th???

Is it possible to go accidently from 5th gear into reverse instead of 6th gear???

I am terrified I am going to do it on the freeway and the car will blow up.

Does anyone know if its possible and what would happen if it did occur?

Never driven a 6 speed TJ, but the synchros prevent you from doing this (just like they prevent you from accidentially shifting into 1st instead of 3rd)

Ive got a 05TJ and havent done it yet, I would imagine that they would have some sort of preventitive measure to ensure that it doesnt happen, But give it a go, just like changing from 3rd to 4th.

just pull straight down from 5th and not a problem

you may occasionally got into 3rd but never reverse

to get in reverse need to push hard right
