Thanks!

if you went into 2nd gear at 65+ mph, you very possibly mechanically overeved the engine. You would have seen the tach shoot to redline when you engaged the clutch.

Yes, it would certainly jerk noticeably if you did that. Is this even a serious question?

Lol you would hear the engine yelling at you

probably hear a loud boom with nice size hole in your block as well

you don't know about these things? It's called the money shift.
Going from 3rd into 2nd instead of 4th

uhh just saw your thread a few posts down. Did you really feel like you needed to make a new thread about the exact same thing? Couldn't you have just posted this in the other thread?

This is one of those... "So my friend has these red bumps... what do you think he should do?"

[sarcasm]you'd feel it only if you suck at shifting...my rev matching is so good that i don't feel anything going from 6th to 2nd doing 100mph[/sarcasm]

(hope your car's alright)
