Hi all,
I was sitting on a dual carriageway and decided I wanted to have some fun. Stupidly, when dropping gears, I went down 1 too far into 3rd gear, my car lunged forward and the Rev needle went to about 8k (I think I felt/heard the limiter kick in) I must have been doing about 70-80 mph
The engine continued to run and was fine going to high speeds later that journey. All my mates said unless the engine conked out on the spot and it didn't drive terribly for the rest of the journey Then it's fine. Is this correct? Or have I done anything badly? :-/
I'll be more cautious next time!
Thanks in advance!
