HELP! accidental overev!
 

So I was on the interstate last night as I got excited that I finally hit 1,000mi and could wind my engine out for the first time. I am not new to driving a manual all my previous cars were a manual. I was in 4th going all out, i shifted to 3rd instead of 5th and last tach reading i saw was 8500 rpm and i quickly double clutched and shifted to 6th. Has this happened to anyone? what should I check for? Im scared to death that I bent a valve or messed something up..... :(:cry:

pls guide me on what to do next THANKS!

did anything happen after you did that? or are you just scared of the future

nothing happened I babied the car home. no abnormal noises so far but was freaked out atm so i just went online and started searching on what to do.. any advice?

you should be fine, it's happened to me before but going from 3rd to 2nd too early. just don't make a habit out of it :paddle:

U hit 8500 Rpms too???lol for all I know it went over 9k

Are people seriously this anal about their car? So you fucked up a shift.... happens to a ton of people. Check engine light? Then keep driving, you're fine.

FYI, there's tuned people with redlines at 8k with stock internals. It's just not something you want to do on a consistent basis. I think mine is set at a 7600 rpm redline because the power gain any higher is negligible according to my tuner.

I get it bro I'm just being paranoid since I was going atleast 110+ on 4th that would've easily been over 9k in 3rd . Since this is my first bnew car I just got concerned. Thanks anyway hopefully it's nothing

I revved 3rd to red line and dumped the clutch and floored it when I shifted, while missing 4th and putting in 2nd. You're fine.

I appreciate the input man makes me feel better about the situation lol

If you over rev and float a valve enough that it hits a piston, you would know it immediately. It's not an issue that'll show up days or weeks later.

Like others have said, don't make a habit of this and you'll be 100% fine!

trust me, this will never happen again! Ive been driving a manual since I was 15 and never have I experienced this till last night. If I did float a valve and it did hit a piston what would I have experienced?

You were double-clutching when you should have been granny shifting.

Wondering how you were going 110+ when 4th maxes out at 106 on redline???

Either way was safe... He was on a public interstate. :bonk:
