I was driving about 70MPH on the way home this morning when I went to downshift from 6th to 4th to pass someone on the freeway. Unfortunatly I put it into 2nd instead of 4th. RPM shot up into the red area, but not by much. I caught myself and let go of the gas immediatly. Everything seems to be OK, but what are some things I should look for??

 

These engines rarely have problems after doing that. If your transmission doesn't make a whining noise now, consider yourself lucky.

 

no worries, i do that a couple times a month by accident and no problems so far, and i got 118K with ORIGINAL CLUTCH

 

Different engine, different transmission, different clutch.

 

meh i wouldnt worry about it. if u caught it quick enough then there should be no problem. i once miss shifted in my talon and got it up to 9k....**** my pants but everything was good.

 

if its good now then ur prob good,.. my buddy went from 6th-"4th" - actually second,... and blew his motor.. so consider yourself lucky lol

 

there is a rev limiter for a reason...to protect the engine

 

Rev limiter doesn't protect the engine from downshifting and overreving. All it does is cut the ignition to keep you from accelerating through the redline if you don't shift.

Either way I wouldn't worry about it if everything seems fine now. There's not much you can do anyway unless you notice a problem.

 

I've revved my motor up to ~7100rpms before, no nothing. Bulletproof VQ FTW. :knock on wood:
