I was getting on the highway when i see a G35 and acura nsx flyby.. i'm coming down the ramp in 3rd hit 4th then 5th (remember i have the ATS final drive, so the gearing is different) i catch up to the NSX at about 85mph in 5th gear at about 6500rpms i'm all over his bumper he slows down to about 65 (i know he is about to get on it) so i do the same. i go to down shift to 4th and i my stupid *** threw it in 2nd at about 65mph after i hit 11,000 rpms i try to throw in the clutch as fast as i can.. THANK GOD nothing happen to the motor and the car is fine..

let the flaming begin

 

I can almost guarantee ur car is not fine. It might drive, but u have to **** up somthing at that rpm.

 

Do a leak down test.....

I blew the crap outta my tranny and thought the motor was fine till it was idling like it had Toda Gs *gangsta* in it.....

I futched the hell outta cyl 4's intake valves.....

 

Better get it checked out.

 

u r setting yourself up for a big flame...lol...to avoid flame...just say that u accidently shifted wrong and hit 11k rpm...no need for all the details

no..u should really check your engine...valves could be bent, retainer cracked...something...

Happened to me in my Type-S. The gates are shorter too. I was catching up to my friend after we all pulled out of a street. My window was fogging up so I had to look out the bottom of my windshield. I didn't realize it then that I was 'cupping' the shifter. So when I tried to go to 4th from 3rd, I went into 2nd. My engine over-revved for a split second and my tranny was grinding. I think it revved to 10,500 RPMs. Anyways, the grinding of my tranny saved my engine. Never had a problem with the engine again.

I'm glad theres atleast one other sane person on this board who will actually say it like it is

 

Street race, turns into mis-shift.

 

im gonna flame for on the grounds of street racing alone. but hey.. your life.. and others at stake as well.

i think i've misshifted while on Sebring once.. looked like 11k too... did a compression test a month later and everything is fine. 240psi"ish" all the way across. here's a question... if compression test result are ok, does that mean the leak down test will yield bad/good results?

 

i dont see how people keep doing this...
is it really worth it to hurt the poor R

 

I posted this here before...seems a lot of mis-shifting going on...most likely due to improper technique...

Quoted from Micahael Delaney on Team-Integra...

"if you gently hold the shifter on the left side of the **** and palm face down and push away or move your wrist from your body and back, it will pull the shift lever back and to the right corner (i.e. 4th gear) and not ever go into 2nd.

people can still grab and choke the shiftknob with their palm face down however which is something you don't want to do. gripping it or choking it leads to trying to force it into the gate and selecting the wrong gate.

the best way to learn is to practice.

hold the shiftknob gently finger tips or lightly with the palm. never GRAB it hard and grip it. That's when you get into mishifts problems and bad habits..."

Hope that helps and I hope nothing is wrong with your engine man.

 

is the gearing on the R that much different than a gsr? i redline at like 62 mph in second gear at 8100 rpm
