i was reading a post about misshifting at high rpms and it sparked a question in my mind. although i never have buried the tach or revved to 9k+ i have put it into the wrong gear about three times under normal driving and the rpm went to about 5k- 5500k, it gave a little jolt but nothing really bad. i would assume that thats not going to cause a problem because its not nearly close to burying the tach, but i would like to hear from on eof the experts on the board. the reason is i deliver pizza and it gets frantic so thoughts are in a different sector of space sometimes. i would just like to know if its going to be a problem in the future or will i be ok becasue the si is the first car that i have had that i plan on keeping. thanks.
