Thank God I'm 06.
Over-rev sucks. As much as I hate to admit it, this happened to me. I was redlined in 4th on the interstate and mis-shifted into 3rd instead of 5th. I got the clutch back in pretty quick, but it still major over-revved. Its been a couple months, no bad effects, thus increasing my faith in Honda and increasing my humility that anyone can accidentally do a stupid thing. In Celicas if this happens, bye-bye lift bolts and more!! This used to come up once in a while on the Celica boards.
