    I was revving high and shifting hard, went from 1st to 2nd and then to 3rd, tried to go into 4th and missed it and went into 2nd by mistake. I was in the 6800 rpm range.
    After that the engine was making a knocking noise. But it was still driving ok. I towed it to the shop and this is what I found.

    Were you in the 6800 range when it happened? If so, what did the motor go to. That's why you need the rev limiter. Hope you had one.:oops:

    well bryant, funny you should ask!

    So I was in the car with the girlfriend. Later the next day I said "dang car". She said "why are you blaming the car, you missed the shift and shifted wrong by mistake, isn't it your fault?" So I got called out on it majorly :)

    Just wait until you're married ... they have a way of twisting everything into a final result where somehow it will always be your fault ... :rolleyes:

    A little duct tape, that rocker will be fine .... :p
