so your telling me if i was to downshift at high rpm to a lower gear it won't lock the rear wheels???????? are you sure about that?

i gave a laymans term of it for him cause i knew someone would go into greater detail on what i said, not tell me i'm wrong.you went to a more tecnical meaning.

if you can say that what i said doesn't happen then i guess i don't know shit.
