I won't break anything in the transmission if I do this stunt, no?

Depends what you hit while you're trying it.

Re: J turn?

nothing.

but theoretically. I'm not too confident knowing what's rotating in the drivetrain. but it's not going to stress/break anything like driving forward and kicking into reverse?

Re: J turn?

if you have a weak link in your trans or rear that will help you locate it .

Re: J turn?

probably would work best with a manual trans, so you can pop it out of gear as your turn so it doesnt stall when you change directions....

dont try it.

Short answer is yes. Maybe the first time, or the tenth or the five hundredth or more. Depends on your luck. It's not really any worse than doing a burn out or all out launch. Everything breaks at some point. Go for it. Have some fun. Fix it if you break it.

Re: J turn?

Go in reverse, crank the wheel, drop the trans into drive, roll out like a boss. Every time you drive your car there's a possibility of something going wrong with parts.
