HELP OVER REV!
retainers and keepers are cheap (~$30 for intake side) - it is the labor that isn't cheap (if you don't have time/experience to diy).
You probably won't see anything on a quick look - if the retainers cracked - they may have slightly cracked and it may take a while for those little cracks to something visible.

yes, you can find pics with a search. Cracks may start on the underside and not (yet) affect the keeper seating, so even a visual inspection isn't conclusive.
If you have time, this is a great DIY to do on your own. If not, this is a great DIY to pay someone to do. Parts are cheap. I have 8 retainers/16 keepers (new) FS.

Well if you were really going 70 and shifted into 2nd in your AP1 then it only overrevved to 9500rpm at max. Given that the car should have been slowing down during the misshift (time in neutral and the engine braking once in 2nd gear) you may not have even been at 70 any more, so you likely didn't even hit 9500rpm (70mph in 2nd gear in an AP1). Even if you did hit 9500 that's not high enough to do any damage. Now if you were going 73-74mph and the engine did manage to rev all the way out in 2nd gear at that speed you would have hit 10,000rpm which is probably not good.....but I kind of think you're in the clear. It really depends on how fast you were actually going.
yeah, im not proud to say this it at all what so ever. one night i was ripping it hard and went from top of 3rd to 2nd. =[ =[ =[ =[ =[. and let out the clutch...i knew it felt wrong so i through in the clutch right when i knew the throw was bad. it reved up but i dont know how high. i pulled the valve cover adn check all retainers over and over and over to make sure none where cracked.( this happened 2 months ago) not anything is wrong with it at all. it has ran fine everyday since that happenend. i wanted to pull over and give my car a hug and apologize hahahaha. i have an ap1 with 60k...you are most likely fine.
