Last night i was racing an is300 with my 05 dc5. I was in third and went to second instead of fourth. Of course, the RPM's maxed out and i was just wondering if that is really that bad. I have about 10500 miles on it. Its the first time its ever happened to me. Just let me know, thanks.

 

i mean its obviously not good for it but i dont think your car will explode because of it....i was with my friend and he missed a gear in his itr and shot his revs up past 9 or 10.....its still runnin strong as hell. i know you didnt ttry to do it, just dont do it agian, u;ll be aight

 

i did it in my 05 rsx-s too at the track. 8400 rpm in 3rd and threw 2nd. nothing happend, you got like a 50/50 chance of dropping a valve and destroying your motor tho. just don't do it again.

 

I did this with my old type r and did $4,000 damage CAD to the motor.......most common bad things that could happend are bent valves + spun rod bearing

 

I have done it a few times as well in my EP3... Still running like the day I got it... Just a bit faster....

 

Well, if you are worried go do a compression and leak down test. Or better yet pull the head and have a look. Chances are if you did not throw a cel or the motor is running ok then you may have lucked out. This all depends on how high you over revved.

Yup

 

heh, 3 to 2 is a weird mis-shift, just pull straight down 3--&gt;4

(it's ok im not making fun of you've ive done 4-3 mis shift before)

 

how long did you stay in 2nd before you pushed the clutch in?

If it was longer than a second or two, you WILL have problems soon.

fer real, 3rd to 4th is vertical, thats fukked up

4 to 3 is a little understandable but 3rd to 2nd, what the fack y0

 

A friend was driving my car and he did the same thing, since then my valves have been clicking louder, I think I just need to do a valve adjustment???
