heres the deal, I was going from 2nd gear to 3rd gear, my 3rd gear synchros trashed so sometimes it doesnt want to go in.. rpms shot up to 9400 for a second, not long at all. my valvetrain is ok to 10k and oil pressure still looks ok

should i worry about bearings??? what do i need to check?

thanks honda tech

cope

 

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sound like somebody i know?????

 

unless you hear any noises coming from your motor (knocking or clicking), and there arent any CELs on, you're prolly ok.

it might not be a bad idea to check for any oil leaks around the motor tho....

 

If you didn't break anything then, you're probably ok. No Knocking noises from the bottom end?

 

nope - valvetrain is noisy as usual but other than that oil pressure is staying the same and no knocking.

it just scared the hell out of me...!

 

whens the last time u changed ur tranny fluid??

 

Did your rev-limiter take the day off?

 

happened to almost all of us at one time or another. i did this after i built the head in my LS. shifted at redline (6800 rpms) try n to go from 3rd to 4th, went into second instead. seen my tach go to like 9K!!!! clutched down and let off the gas. coasted in neutral for about a good minute while i tried to dry the pee off my leg

good thing i built the head with springs and retainer's or else i might have had valve float. everything was fine though. im still beat n on the egine to this day and have excellent oil pressure. 90psi at full throttle, 65-75 psi at 3K and 20 psi at idle.
misshifting is pretty scary. hope i never do it again.

word of advice, dont talk on the cell phone while try n to shift gears at redline. it's a no non

i did the exact same thing, im not worried about the head because i know my head is good to 10k, but im just worried about the bottom end is it possible that i damaged a rod bearing even though there is no knock????

Guess that explains my rev-limiter comment....It wasn't clear in your post that you shifted into a lower gear, it sounded like you just missed the shift.
