1979 BJ40 Be engine, 4 speed.
I am having a problem with getting the starter motor to engage, so I've been roll-starting to get it going while I try to figure it out.
Just now I dropped it into 2nd gear while rolling at about 10mph, but missed the gear box and was in reverse instead - and popped the clutch. The engine 'popped', and while it *did* start running, exhaust was coming out of the engine and the truck only moved in 1st gear position - but that engaged the reverse gear. I was able to back it into the driveway and shut it off. WTF did I do?
