Ok well I was driving and decided to get on it in 1st, went to second and missed it and hit rev limiter (its set at 9200) I only hit it for a split second, but I was wondering if I need to get things checked? Theres no new noises or anything, just wondering if I need to do somthing, I heard thats the only real problem these cars have, and thats the reason the motor had to be rebuilt before, dont want to hafto get it done again.

Thanks!

You hit the rev limiter with the transmission in out of gear?
If so dont worry about a thing.

yeh i was in the middle of a shift, so it wasnt in gear..so I should be alright?

Dude your wayyyy in the clear on this one. Dont worry!

yeah, dont worry what so ever, if you got in gear, than thats something to worry about

i lost sleep the first time i did it too

ok pshew lol, so what makes the retainers fail? i hear its from mis shifting?

s2kBryan916

It is a mechanical overrev that cracks the retainers. I.E. going into the wrong gear at the wrong speed (say a 2nd gear downshift at 100 mph.)

no need to worry about anything

ok well sorry, but 1 more question lol...what if I took 1st to long and hit revlimiter? since its still in gear would that be bad? havent done it but just wanna make sure if its bad not to do it

You can also do that.
