Ok, I stand corrected as far as the neutral saftey switch. But I still
am certian there is some type of failsafe to prevent a catastrophic
event in case of an abrupt stoppage. I remember one time I was at the
strip with the 98 trying to manually shift through the gears, and while
going from 2nd to drive I accidentlly went to far and put it into
reverse. It shut the engine down right then and there. Now what
exactly caused it im not sure, but given the nature of DC'S electronics,
i'm almost sure there's something there.
