[AT] Waay OT

[charlie hill]

Mike, I'm not sure but I think the thing is pretty much a "fly by wire" type 
system.  No mechanical linkages and the computer maybe determines that you 
can't shift gears under some conditions,
like down shifting or shifting to neutral at WOT.  That's just my guess.  If 
that isn't the case then I agree that she should have been able to shift it 
or cut it off or something but supposedly that is
not the case.  I still believe there is a possibility that she was just 
panicked and not doing the right things even though she might have thought 
she was.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what prevented her from shifting into 
neutral? Mike M
