REDline
i have a 1994 honda prelude s, Last night i was driving, and when i shifted from 3rd to 4th, i accidentally went into 2nd and i went to 8,000 rpm (redline starts at 6,250) and i kept it at 8,000 for about a second, as soon as i noticed i shifted into 2nd i shifted into nuetral, and it was about 2 seconds....i was just wondering if that really harmed my engine at all?

Re: REDline

Re: REDline
at least you haven't shifted from 3rd to 2nd while racing at the redline ... and worst of all ... against a civic you could have easily killed if you were concentrating :-/
/me needs valve job
