Its very important and a huge difference when you clutch in as soon as yo urealize that you are in the wrong gear as opposed to not clutching in at all and riding the gear all the way down. I promise you.

Sorry to hear that, man.
Hope you get it fixed soon.

I mis-shifted one time while I was in 4th into 3rd instead of 5th, going around 60-70 mph, below v-tec rpm's. As soon as I felt it the rpm skyrocket and heard the engine noise, I clutched in and put it back to 4th. Would that scenario have caused any engine damage, if so how can you tell? If when the engine blows, what kind of noises do you hear, and does the engine then just shut down on its own?

ChefJ

no damage there. 3rd gear is good to 90mph.

I got a really rough idle and a blinking cel. A blinking cel is the cars way of saying "game over"

First I thought my exhaust exploded , after that there was a permenant sound coming from engine like death car, it was really deep

ok here are the results :

first and 4th cylinder doesnt have any compression ( after compression test )
2nd has 120
3rd has 50

avarage is 150-175

they havent have the head off yet , so we still dont know what is going on in there , but they dont expect anything bad i guess , they ll change 6 intake , 6 exhaust valve

estimated number is $2200 , it might get to 3000 too depends how quality work i want

parts 900
labor 1300

i blew up my motor, but did it with a 100 shot. i was on the highway doing a 2nd-4th gear run with a buddy's type s bc he wanted to see how bad he'd get beat. once i was 15-18 cars ahead of him by the end of 4th i put it in 6th. opposed to the sound of my exhaust being a nice, constant tone...it was burbly and sounded muffled. i pulled over and looked at my motor (it was still running) and it shook back and forth like an old 91 1.8 liter volvo motor.

i knew something was horribly wrong so i got it towed to my mechanic. he took the head apart and found i had bent 10 valves. i had it machined/resurfaced. i had those 10 valves replaced as well as all new gaskets. once the head was re-installed, they noticed a knock coming from the front of the block. so we then realized i had a problem in the short block as well. he dropped the oil pan and took a look at the rod bearings but that wasn't the problem. he is now thinking it may be a main bearing or a piston. my car is still in the shop and has been since July 5th. i just sold my turbo kit to help pay for my motor rebuild.

What's the top speed for 2nd gear?

you're getting ripped off big-time.

let me guess, your car is at the dealership.
