Of course it would run fine a year later, that car doesn't redline until 60 in second. 55 mph is well within the second gear rev range.

My pistons always tell me they hurt after I downshift 3 gears. But my o-rings only strain when I downshift 4.

 

lol @ punching the dash! Thas a major slippage with a mean shift! U must've been mad at sumthin to be shifting that hard!

 

Really? Because what you did is equivalent to 40-60 regular downshifts.

 

You would have noticed something immediately if serious damage occurred.

I know from experience. You ever hear a built Toyota 2ZZ engine with wide open exhaust ports and race exhaust at 12k rpms?

 

Uhh... If they're wide open ports, what's the point of a race exhaust.

 

If you know how to rev-match you can skip however many gears you want, the synchro's don't have to do any work. Are you trying to tell me that shifting from 6th to 2nd at 40 mph, with correct rev-matching, in my current car is like 40-60 regular downshifts? That makes no sense.

 

cocaine, its a helluva drug!!!

 

Hsummer, I was being sarcastic and poking fun at the guy you quoted

 

<- Long day at work.

I was starting to get worried about this forum.

 

Please explain this. I think there might be a few people laughing at you.

 

I'm guessing by his name that he has 4 turbo's on his car, so I can see how his pistons would be hurting. Still waiting on an answer on the o-rings though.

 

oh the 2ZZ <3 i loved that high revving engine! i still have her but she is my bros now

 

watch out for rod knock, or a spun bearing.. cut open your oil filter and check for metal.. don't let it happen again.

 

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

 

Meaning bent valves.



Wat?

 

First of all, if it's 05 or older, you'll be fine. remember, they used almost exactly the same engine part for 05 anniversary with 7000 red line... unless you did over 7000 (which is NEARLY impossible going 4 to 2nd.), you'll be fine. if it's 06 or newer with high rev engine, i wouldn't know what to tell ya.

 

Bringing this back from the dead. I have done the same thing....it is not impossible to go over 7k. My car hit 8k. I was doing a pull (roughly a 1/4 mi) and was shifting perfectly, but went from redline in 3rd, to 2nd. I pushed the clutch in right away after letting it out, but it was scary. Everything runs fine and sounds great still, i think the bulk of the damage was to my clutch, which I'm fairly certain is OEM and I'm at 95k miles, so I'm not too worried.

I'm not new to manuals, but this is the shortest throw shifter I've driven.

 

I miss Shift also. Where did he go?

 

I think its Mrs. Shift now.
