Hmmmmm.... you seem right! a governor prevents engagement of teeth if speed mismatched, you can do it from 3 to 2 though, and he did indeed go from what looks like 4 back to 3 (most) true sports car have 5th gear, i think he was in 4 seeking 5, but 5 is as you say , far far upper right on toyota, fiats, etc. He went from 4 to 3, and the car can be forced but its meant for forced slowing on dangerous decline mountain roads when disc brakes cooked.

He destabilized.

funny.

BTW fiat, and toyota ebrake and others in sports cars are balanced to both rear tires, to allow "bootlegger" breaking in front of cops, without a spin, but the cables can be strained if played with far too often.
