I was wondering if hitting around 7300-7500 rpm for a split second could have hurt my engine.. cuz i was just screwing around shifted out of 3rd at around 5500 rpm and hit 2nd instead of 4th (my tranny is screwed up BTW, synchros are bad) I caught it before it fully engaged and it runs fine, no rough idle or anything.. just concerned

 

if it was a few seconds you should be OK

 

should be fine, we have all bounced off the rev limiter once or twice!

 

thanks, it ran fine afterwards.. just needed reassurance

 

no problem, ive done it like 4-5 times, mostly when i first got the car, i was just learning how to shift at high rpms.

 

once i get my head built, im going to rev my stock bottom end' b18a to 8000k... maybe with some ARP rod bolts...

 

thats not a problem, you'll be more than fine

 

i had a ls in my 93 hatch , i beat on that motor and tranny ,i can say they are very tough and reliable ,never had a problem.

 

yea, I know more than a few people that beat the hell out of thier B18A's (me included) and cant get these things to die. Talk about a workhorse.

 

yea youre motor should be fine...why dont you fix your tranny or get another one so that doesnt happen anymore?
