well it was only for a split second, and then i hit the clutch back in, .. afterwards, the car sounded like basically sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders, . .and i couldnt hear my invidia over all the knocking (thats how loud it was) i was pretty damn scared from what ive read about repair costs, so i wasnt quite in the mood to post about it, but i just got the estimate from honda, 1500, .. ill accept that as a lesson. its much better than the 3-4000 i was expecting. they said that i bent a valve, and that only 1 cylinder was losing compression. so they are replacing the 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves on that cylinder etc. the sad thing is that i could never concieve how someone could mis-shift, but i guess it can happen to anyone, if you just get a little overzealous. it probably didnt help that i havent really practiced aggressive shifting since i put on my spoon knob, maybe the lower throw threw me off.
