I have an 05 auto, yesterday i was merging into the expressway, and accidently i shift from D to N, and i saw it went Redline for a couple of seconds. maybe because my foot was still at on the gas pedal.
My car has 3000 miles on it. will this hurt my engine?

 

Your car will be fine.

 

never knew you could money shift in an auto

 

You'll be fine, seconds doesn't matter for redline. Its minutes that hurt.

 

happend to me one time..........its startling........but your car is fine

 

Will the auto not "bounce" the limiter, even in neutral?

 

i have an auto as well... you should be fine....

but u shifted from D to N... after knowing its an auto...
i know how you must feel... we should have gotten the manual!!

 

No worries bro. I've done that a few times, and for a short time it's ok.
Thank God for the rev-limitter.

Did that ONCE thinking I had put it in Manumatic mode. Likely it's fine but I wouldn't make a habit of it.

 

weird. why does the needle hits the redline unless you are stepping gas all the way?
i happened to put D to N w/ my other car when i was going what...50 mph?
and it wasnt even close to the redline.

 

What gear were you in at 50mph? Maybe he was in 1st.

 

not in 1st gear for sure cuz i was speeding up. prolly 3rd gear.
hard to understand w/ AT tho...
if he was MT, i'd consider that as missshift but...
anyone wanna help me out here? lol
seems like i am the only guy confused.

 

Well it's easy to rev up to the red line if you're in 1st gear right? So maybe G35MC was in 1st or 2nd gear at D just before he swapped it to N which made it rev up very quickly. I've noticed that when I switch from D to manual it sometimes goes down a gear automatically. Maybe that happened too.

 

Your call will blow up in the next few miles since you redlined it.

 

call?
