i would get the valve retainers checked for any cracks.

 

The existence of a fuel cut off doesn't apply to a mechanical over-rev, if you did indeed engage the clutch fully after putting the shifter into 2nd when you were at the redline in 3rd, you were doing about 50-60kmh 'more than the engine can do when in 2nd gear', even if the fuel did cut off, which it probably did (a fuel cut-off does indeed exist), it doesn't matter at that point.

The car is moving at a given speed and the transmission is engaged.

Keep in mind the car doesn't have to throw a CEL for there to be anything wrong with the engine. You're doing the right thing by having it checked as soon as possible, before anything that might have happened develops into something catastrophic.

Good luck.

PS: might want to lay off pushing the car hard until you get it checked, or at least I know I would.

 

Your fuel cut won't do anything from you misshifting.

So is the car running fine? If so you are lucky.

 

In this case id still get the retainers looked at and maybe a compression to look for any apparent damange but not to say what may be instore for the future

 

yes definently get the compression checked.... I did the same thing on the integra when I had it and was lucky enough not to do any damage.

 

how much would a compression checked cost....

 

you know Im not exactly sure on the cost of a compression check but it shouldn't be more that 50 bux. Shoot if you were local i'd do it for you at no charge since I have a compression tester. Maybe chack and see if you can meet up with a local member that can help you out.

 

It appears that you have an AP2. While having a broken retainer is very unlikely, have it checked just incase. Most of the people in UTH, especially Billman, would LOVE to hear a story where someone cracked a retainer in his/her AP2.

 

Hopefully everything works out for you.

Luckily in my short time having the S I've only misshifted into first trying to go to third at really low speeds and never actually gotten any higher than like 7800rpms before I was able to re-shift.

 

get the spring retainers checked asap. better be safe than sorry.
