I accidently did a 3-2 misshift. My rpm's shot up past 10k. The engine seems to be running fine but my clutch feels weird. Can i have some suggestions and any simple checks i can do to make sure everything is ok? Im bringing in the car on tuesday for a service. Any suggestions would help.

compression test

 

When I did a 3-2 misshift, I broke 2 of the 3 straps on the pressure plate. Perhaps you broke only one? Compression and leak down would also be a good idea.

 

did the same thing and was picking parts of my pistons out of my header. You got damn lucky to just have a clutch problem. Good luck though

 

i wouldn't try to start the motor up again!!! get a compression test first and find all the bugs.

 

you def got lucky i recently did a 3-2 and bent a couple valves luckily

 

I guess i am lucky. Will do the compression test first thing... thanks a lot for the posts guys.

 

I would suggest not driving it at all until u buy a compression tester. SOunds like u are trying to drive it to the dealer.

Wut rpm were u at when u misshifted to get over 10k. For daily driving i shift gear at like 3k rpm so even if i misshift into 2nd i just hit Vtec, and its all good.

this is why 3k is my best friend in the weekdays, and 8.2k on the weekends
