Perhaps he's not mechanically savvy and treasures his type r.Cant blame him for being a bit nervous.
I dont see that a momentary 9k hit will do anything bad.Its not far from the engines safe range anyway

If you really did over rev, there is a good chance you have cracked your valve retainer(s).
Of course everything will be fine for now, until the retainer(s) fails one day and the valve falls....
If you're really worried check your retainers (especially bottom side up) and get a compression test.
Im not stressed out anymore, but as I said, its a first time this has occurred. Hence, why I'm paranoid, but at least I learned my lesson not to do stupid mistakes!!Quote:

If were fast enough to put the clutch in I'd say don't even worry about it. Also since a dc2r has to be put into third before you hit 100 its not that far a step down into high rpm 2nd so there isn't a great amount of load on the motor..
Edit - (assuming you didn't heel toe) WHY were you watching the rpm while your car violently jerked and slowed?

Which is a plus.
Just take this as a lesson learnt . We all learn something new everyday.
yeah well the situation occurred for say 0.5seconds-1second then i straight away shifted back to third. Well as silly as I can get, I watched my Rpm cause I wanted to check where did the engine revved up to, and also cause there were no cars on the road.Quote:

took a good hammering like that for about 12 months before it spun a bearing
aslong as the belt didnt skip a tooth it should be a ok. not saying you should excessively do it, but if timing is right then valves will clear pistons and no immediate damage should occur such as pistons smashing into valves.
I can confirm this hahahahahaQuote:

I did this once, and my Distributor Rotor disintergated.
That was a fun night!
Nah standard dc2 2nd gear goes up to about 90 by the redline. He was probably around the 100 mark when shifting down.
