So I was driving in 3rd gear for a while crushing and after a while completely forgot I was in manual. So I got the chance to open it up and started bouncing off for a good 3-4 seconds. Do you guys think any perminate damage was done. I know I have to be more careful from now on. Thanks

 

I've done that once or twice. Everything seems fine.

 

Happened to me a couple of times when I first got it...everythiing ok over here

 

I'm sure you'll be fine. That's why there is a rev limiter so nothing terrible happens I've done it before

 

I did it a few times within 2-3 hours once on a cruise, occasionally switching into manual with the shifter, and not slappping it over, putting it in neutral, bounces off the rev limiter.

Long story short, I threw a rod the 3rd time. So my advice is, dont let it happen again.

 

Cool story bro! Seriously though, thanks for the warning... I like my stuff the opposite of broken.

 

This is why Im wary of drivin in manual mode sometimes... I too have forgot and thought it was in auto and all why the hell isnt it shifting?? Oh Snap! upshift real quick, ok its all good now dont do that again thinkin to myself

 

i used to do it just to make my car shoot flames lol my car is fine

 

...for now. lol

 

na ive had it for a yr and broke it in hard just like all my race dirtbikes and if the motor blows that means i get to build it and stroke it

 

That why I drive in ONLY manual, so there is no forgetting (let alone it was designed to be driven manually, auto was an after thought).

 

For sure I hear you Brah, just kinda hard to shift when textin N stuff

 

dont text n drive bec this could happen to you i was hit 50mph both ways by a kid texting n driving im still in a wheel chair n he is fine its not worth it

 

^^^^This. Though, with that said, I DID forget to upshift back to 6th for about 30 seconds after down-shifting to 5th to make a pass on a 2 lane road earlier today. This was also after 8 hours of cruising at 74MPH on the interstate too.
