I ovvered my sport shift to 6800 rpms before going into 2nd gear. Did i do damage to the engine? Thanks for the replies.

seems to be driving ok.

'04 G35 sedan

 

if the rev limiter kicked in, you are fine.

 

I did not think there was a rev limiter on this vehicle?

 

i have an 04 sedan 5AT too and i did the same thing. shifted at right at 6300 and the stupid delay made it redline, it cut my gas off and threw the car forward, but didnt do anyting to it. your car could probably have the redline raised a bit and be ok, i wouldnt worry about it at all

 

what do you mean by sport shift? are you talking about the manual shift mode on the 5AT? and there is a rev limiter on your car.

 

The technosquare ECU reflash pushes the redline to 7100, which is where they feel the redline should be anyway:

You engine is fine and yes our G's have rev limiters.

 

Relax, the rev-limiter prevents you from destroying your car. I have hit the limiter on
three occasions. It is pretty scarey when it kicks in, isn't it? But mine now has 53K miles
on it and all is fine. Relax, try not to do it again. Hehe

 

I don't think if your fuel gets cut off it would throw the car forward. It would do the opposite.

 

I have a feeling that he meant that HE (and any passengers) were thrown forward. =) Fuel cut can be a mighty abrupt thing.

 

yeah i meant threw me forward, not the car. i was in first gear and then all of a sudden no gas so it made the car slow down really fast for a sec

 

^ you're fine. that's what it does.

 

Yes I know they are abrupt and I was trying to get him to say threw him forward. What can I say I'm a nit picker.

 

Does the rev limiter shift to the next gear when it redlines or does keep reving until your shift?

 

"Does the rev limiter shift to the next gear when it redlines or does keep reving until your shift?"

I seem to recall that the Owner's Manual said it would automatically shift if the redline was exceeded. Check out the section that talks about the manual mode. I think I saw it there.
