i just fukn nosedived sort of on the freeway but just for a sec then i got out of the gear i dont know what the hell happened but i thought i was in 3rd gonna go to fifth i messed up bad... how do i know if i messed up anything im a rookie so i dont even know what could have gone wrong... i was checking where my car is idling at right now and i dont think it looks right it was a bit below 1000 rpm but it was going down and up kinda. what did i do? and what do i have to do to fix it and whats it gonna cost? help me in my time of need i almost cried typing this

 

sorry for the quick post but i really meant i thought i was in 3rd going to 4th but i was in fifth and i think i went either into 4th or 2nd i dont know the nosedive felt really bad. what can i do guys im tripping out....

 

Its probably all in your head. Pop your hood and listen to your motor, chances are you got some valve clearence issues now. I know i do. I hit 10k twice now on my motor by accident. More than likely ur car is fine. If its driving ok than i woudlnt sweat to much over it.

 

i hear louder ticks but im idling fine what does this mean?

 

my car be having the ticking sounds too.. but i think I just need a valve adjustment?

 

i think i just need a valve adjustment also... i hit 100,000 miles i think thats why the loud ticks are there ... so if i have bent valves would my idle be all fucked up cuz right now its at 700-900 which according to some people i jsut talked to is normal for a 96 gsr... well i jsut need some opinions becuz i dont want to waste money on a mechanic opening my head up what are some other signs of bent valves or is weird idling a for sure thing if they are bent...

 

um do you remember what the rpm you hit when you misshifted?? I think you should be fine, if your needle didn't go past redline.

 

hey what streets in reseda? im from northridge. anyways, you probably bent a valve. common mistake with manual transmission drivers. do compression checks.

 

hey IntegraL gimme ur aim .. i live around ventura and tampa...
