Gear Slip + White Puff Of Smoke

I was rolling in first and hammered it. The gear slipped going into second and made the rev limiter bounce a couple times. When it did shift, there was a cloud of white exhaust.

Everything seems ok and it sounds normal driving.

Is this just a build up from being at the rev limiter?

It seemed fine. It came out once the gear changed (in a big puff) and 2nd kicked in and I was on my merry way haha.

Black smoke - Fuel Burning / Rich A/F
Blue smoke - Oil Burning
White smoke - Coolant burning/trans fluid

If the smoke doesn't go away after the engines warmed up then you have a problem.

Maybe your burning h20 in the tail pipe.

It was probably a shot of trans fluid that burned up because the gear slipped.

Nah.
I suspect it was raw fuel burning in the Cat as a result of the ignition cutoff (redline exceedence event) but not a fuel cutoff. As a result excessive fuel was pumped through the cylinders for a brief period.

You reduced the life of the Cat a wee bit... But no worries, eh?

Ahhhh there's worst things than that!! Thanks for the info.

I might be planning on eventually getting the test pipe anyways so no worries for the cat.
