Flux Capacitor 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Aren't you supposed to TURN the time circuit switch about 90 degrees for the time circuits to turn on? How could the gear shift even turn it on? And if you think that Marty just pulled the gear to the left, it wouldn't work because the handle would be blocking the pathway for the gear.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 Dude, his wrist hits the time circuit, not the gear shift. You can clearly see it in this snapshot I made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTTF Forever 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) so the second time him hitting the switch never happened? i sware i heard him hit the switch a second time here: http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...x.php?cs=175175 look at the handle! when its on, the handle looks like this (joe stalter's pic) when its on its diagnal, the TC's are on, when its horizontal, there off i rest my case Edited January 22, 2010 by BTTF Forever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archer9234 20 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) He hit it 3 times. First time, shift. TC turned on. Second time, shift. Off screen sound. TC turned off. Third shift on the b*****ds 90 line. Turned them on again. Edited January 22, 2010 by archer9234 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OoiueBTTF 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 or he switched them on, and didnt hit it again? how would he switch them off, the leaver was vertical, there was no way he could have domne it accidently, unless your a glitched man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archer9234 20 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) His arm can hit the top of the handle when moving back to the steering wheel. Regardless how believable it is. The TC power off sound IS heard at that point. Edited January 23, 2010 by archer9234 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) If you didn't notice that your not a big enough fan. Reminds me of this guy I use to work security with. We got into talking about BTTF and he said that the delorean was automatic. And I said, "F*CK NO, it's manual!" And he said he was right and I kept on telling him that he was a moron.

BTTF Forever 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) obviously your talking bout this scene http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...x.php?cs=175150 the scene when he sort of looks back then throws the gearstick forward, and you hear the TC make a weid sound, like when you first turn it on (krrrrrrrrr.......bleeep............shoooooooo) but you just here the first bit (krrrrrrrr), then you see the TM hit a small ditch in the road Edited January 25, 2010 by BTTF Forever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Automatic with a sports mode implement? Shift 1: Drive 2 (from drive 1 upon initial movement) (turns on TC) Shift 2: Drive 3 (TC turns off) Shift 3: Sports mode (See if you B******S can do 90) (TC on again.) Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how Automatics over here work (given they have sports mode obv, without it it just has N, 1, 2, 3, and R) If I'm wrong... oh well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RG 1 Report post Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) You could see that Marty hit both brake and clutch(idk how you call it) pedals when arriving at 1955 Lyon Estates, meaning it's manual transmission Edited January 28, 2010 by RG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
♠Grim♂ Reaper 1666◙ 17 Report post Posted January 28, 2010 and look at the gear lever the typical automatic lever will only go backwards and forwards the deloreans works like amanual so it must be a manual and if you look closely when marty changes gear his foot moves just as he does that.

danmeister 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2010 Other than that, as others before me have speculated, it would be nigh on impossible for, in the first time travel experiment with Einstein, the Delorean to accelerate to 88 miles per hour in such a short distance if it had been automatic transmission.

iMaster 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 Doc's a genius, I bet he installed a semi-auto transmission onto the car. Plus, why did he shift gears in the air? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley+ 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 because the vents control the speed so he probably had another pedal or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
♠Grim♂ Reaper 1666◙ 17 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 no he wouldnt need another switch the normal accelartor would control forwards thrust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RG 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 And what makes it go up/down? Well, I guess, the steering wheel acts like in a plane, but what about taking off from one place without moving around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
♠Grim♂ Reaper 1666◙ 17 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 maybe thats what the gear lever is used for in flying mode, maybe when you need to u and down you move the lever and t changes so the gas pedal is up and the brake is down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
