    Default Accidentally Mis shifted and Redlined

    Alright so i have a 98 prelude sh. I was pushing the car sorta hard and was in third gear on a slight turn and i was up in like 6.5k rpm. I was trying to put it into 4th and accidentally put it into 2nd. The car rev'd all the way to the end of the red line for like a sec. and i threw it into 5th immediately. The ATTS (active torque transfer light) came on right away. I turned the car off and re-started it and the light was still there. i unplugged the battery and the light went away. The car still drives fine and idles normally. I am still afraid i did some damage to the car. any suggestions on what i should look out for? i was plannin on doing a valve adjustment tomorrow before this happened. so if i bent my valves or threw them out of place that will be fixed tomorrow. hopefully i didin fuck my car up. i did a compression test on the car a month ago and everything came out fine. i may run a compression test again tomorrow to see if i get the same numbers. any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

    There is a difference between hitting the rev limiter and a mechanical overrev. A rev limiter will not stop the car from revving above redline from a forced downshift. I seriously suggest getting a compression/leakdown test as you could drop a valve sometime in the future - it doesn't always happen immediately either.

    Do a search for mechanical overrevs.

    New car:
    95 S14 with RB25DET (stock boost)
    Old car:
    Turbo S2000 400hp/285tq on 9:1 comp & 11psi

    shit'll buff out. if the car drives normal and idles normal i wouldnt worry about it. if u bent a valve or valves it definitely wouldnt idle normally. u can do a compression test jut to see if u might have had a little contact but ive done that several times with my 1st b16 and u gotta love that whiplash action, tires screaching, and bkue shift light blinging in ur face. lol!!!

    I dunno, you might have bent a valve or a few. I down shifted to quickly once but it wasn't too bad. My civic ran perfect when it happened. so, ya neva kno. hopefully nothing bad happened

    Don't feel bad because i done the same exact thing and the week following the timing belt broke and i have a 93 jdm h22 in my accord compression test was ok on my motor but it was running funny at idle. The only thing i have to say is get ready to pray and hope ur engine is ok or you will be doing head work or getting a new motor. Honestly i will be rebuilding my head so u know what that means UPGRADE!!!
    I KNOW THIS AIN'T THE BITCH THAT GOT U TRIPPIN ON ME!!

    i can't stop you from tinkering with your motor so if you're already gonna do a compression test, it won't hurt anything, just give you some peace of mind, if it's idling fine then you're good man, be more careful next time & at least you didn't turn out like that guy on the video ROFLMAO!! you were in a turn, he was just going straight HAHAHAHAHA

    just check the valve lash. if one is out of whack, then check the compression and leakdown. i doubt you did any damage though if it idles fine.
