Today, someone I know destroyed his gearbox during a failed attempt to reverse. It seems the car was stopped and in neutral, and instead of pressing the clutch he pressed the brake pedal (as for an automatic) and tried to shift into reverse. There was a loud bang and now he cannot shift into reverse, nor 3rd, 4th or 5th gears.
Have you heard about something similar ? What might have gone wrong ?
The car is a Ford Fusion and the gearbox is 5S6R7002.

sorted byYou have second gear so you have only two weeks for someone you know to scrap a car that has the same gearbox...
EDIT: Ha! I just realised - You have an extra week because you also have first gear! (edited)
I'll see if I can help him; maybe it's not needed a gearbox replacement.
