Thanks 40cpe, but I am not sure if I described correctly the situation, it's not really easy to explain such technical potential issues, and more to explain it in English for me....
I was meaning that with the trans in 3rd (direct drive) or in 2nd, the pawl engaged and the rail in OD position, it is not possible to turn the input shaft of the transmission clockwise (viewed from the rear of the trans). The input shaft and output shaft are turning counterclockwise, but when turning clockwise, everything is locked.
When the pawl is released from the control plate and blocker ring, everything turns in both directions.
Sorry to ask for more explanation, but I don't understand how it can work when the car is in motion. Thanks all for your help again.
