So I'm driving on I4 racing a mustang and instead of shifting into 5th I shift into 3rd and my toms go to 7500 for a second. Got that horrible clutch burning smell and I pretty much punched myself in the face. Could that blow my engine or should it be not a big deal if it happens once in a lifetime?
Ugh....

 

Toms = rpm. Stupid phone.

 

Street racing is a no no

 

+1 on NO NO

 

But to answer your question it could blow your motor but I doubt it did if it drove fine after.

 

I know its retarded and I am too. I wasn't even going that fast, 90 in a 70. Anyway, should that have hurt the engine at all?

 

Yeah its driving fine, Im just worried.

 

Learn how to shift and you wouldn't need to worry in the first place

 

if you were quick enough to realize and push the clutch in fast youll be fine, also just warning you the mods do not like promot street racing so be ready to get reemed

 

Lol Jesus I'm not promoting it. Okay, I was in a closed track, do not try! I'm also writing this while driving on I4 in Orlando...do not try either!

Until then you have zero credibility.

 

whats "embaracing" is that you cant spell "embarrassing", and you cant drive, and you were street racing.....

 

Dosent 3rd go to 114

 

"Embarrassing" the banhammer.

How "embaracing".

 

 

3rd in my 05' only goes to a little over 80. 83 maybe?

 

Tough crowd. I deserve it.

 

Don't stress - I am pretty sure that just about everybody here has made a mistake or twenty..... Just make sure you learn from it. And if you had hurt it, in 99% of the situations like yours, you would have known about it right away. Don't stay up at night worrying about that other 1%
