theres nothing wrong with redlining.
its when you bounce off the limiter that you get problems

the manufactuer wouldnt set the redline at a point where it is damaging your engine...
they would set it short of that point... otherwise no cars would come with warranty
what problems occur from bouncing off the limiter? it is afterall, just a fuel cutoff BEFORE any major damage occurs from over-revvingQuote:

Down shifting at high rpm can cause the engine to rev well above the redline, and can lead to damage, this will harm your engine more than accelerating and hitting the set limit.
downshifting to a high RPM is more dangerous than full throttle it to high RPM.
