That that gonna cause a huge damage for the engine and the clutch? |
I could be way off, but your chances of damaging the engine from over-reving for a second is analogous to smoking a single cigarette and worrying about lung cancer. Over-reving isn't really the end of the world. If you maintained your revs in the red under heavy load then that would be bad, especially in situations when there is a poor tune, excessive heat, extra stress/hp or other factors that could occur outside of a stock motor.
