How NOT to shift a 6-speed
How NOT to shift a 6-speed
http://celica.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cg ... 009656Some dumbass kid in an RSX blows his engine and tranny while doing 75 (in a 25mph zone). For some reason decides it would be a good idea to downshift at 7500 RPM in 5th gear to 4th, misses, hits 2nd instead...BLAMMO!

Re: How NOT to shift a 6-speed (Shadow Realm)
ehem why didn't he let of the accelerator a bit lol and hit the break before a downshift to take the rev back down lol! Its pretty damn hard to hit 2nd from 5th you really gotta slam the shifter in gear hard to do that.
