Urban legend: Henry Ford insisted on putting a hydraulic pressure pump on both input and output shafts of early automatics; that assured lubrication for a long tow and would pressurize the system so you could select Drive, engage clutches/bands and push start it. | |
| Jun 21, 2019 at 18:05 | comment | added | Zach F. | Are you able to comment on how pressurization of components might play out? As the_storyteller pointed out, with the valves working in reverse, intake and exhaust become reversed. My guess here as to what could go wrong is that the throttle body's valve(s) might not like being subjected to reverse pressures, but I'm not sure how damaging that could be for modern designs. | |
