here is a snap shot of the mis-shift...

 

yeah ive heard of people getting up to like 11 12k and not 'having problems' but who knows

 

I should ban your ***....

 

damn,thats a hardcore down shift i guess. i have had a few friends do that in thier type S. it sux, one of them blew the motor. but the dealer covered it. lucky i guess. i usually shift at 82oo-83oo on my type S. and im makin it lighter any way i can. got any recomendation? thanx. laterz

 

The other day I was on the highway and went from 5th to 2nd in my ITR...wow

for some reason it didn't want to go into 4th, so I was wiggling it a little and finally thought I had gotten it in...then let the clutch out and saw the tach zing. Luckily I realized "this isn't 4th, it's taching up way too high" and punched the clutch. I would have been way worse off than that guy!

 

Lucky you! That would have been a major hurt.

yeah considering I was hundreds of miles from home...it would have been a sucky day.

 

Sorry, I just fell out of my seat.

*Continues to Laugh after reading ThePunk's reply*

iloveracing, who just wonders...

 

I should ban you too!

 

Shift at 8,300? is there even any power at 8,300 i figure your just loozing power by shifting that early.... u know the trick is if you speed shift, shift 500 rpm'z earlier than red line ;-).... japanese stuff. shift at 7,500 or even 7 grand and leave it on clutch a lil longer then speedshift.... jes a little trick F.Y.I c u later

 

The higher up in RPM you are when you upshift, means you will be further into the powerband in the next gear right from the beginning....

 

i dont understand a word you just said but to take advantage of the motor's powerband you should try shifting as high as the revlimiter allows

 

Is there an echo in here?

 

Depends if the door is opened or closed.

 

Well I'm a master tech at an Acura dealer and not to long ago I had an RSX-S come in that was an obvious misshift. Now I don't know how bad but it must have been topped out 5th going to 6th and hit 2nd because this motor had 1 piston get completely destroyed and missing it was in the oil pan and 3 dropped valves and others bent 90deg to the seat. I found piston ring pieces and valve stem pieces sitting in the intake manifold and a lot of aluminum chunks form the missing piston. I'm still dismayed we covered it for him as a one time thing but I have to tell you it was unbelievable. When I pulled the head off there was a rod with a pin but no piston and one of the others looked as though someone had been playing drums on it with a ballpeen hammer. Acura later called in the parts to be returned to be inspected but don't think they'll find anything useful the kid really funked up that motor get this 1500 miles still had temp tag on it. And it sat for like months on back ordered motor. So to all you RSX owners watch it with that 6spd its smooth and tight but easy to blow a shift and the mototrs aren't as bulletproof as the B-serious just my opinion but its smooth.

LoL...dood, this isn't a sport bike...11K is about, oh, 3K above redline? You must be kidding me

 

he'll ban you!

 

Not today...Feeling merciful.

 

Which Acura dealer? Esserman or Miami?

BTW as for misshifting, I've crapped myself more than once! Not once or twice, but 3 damn times I missed a shift on the '93 GS-R.. worst was leaving Moroso racing a Saturn. I topped 4th looking to hit 5th, well I found 3rd instead.... saw the tach sweep past the 9.5K marking Thank god those B17A's were built to hell!
