Amazing Misshift

:shocked :scared ZOINKS!



uh, you may want to mention that this thread is NOT 56k friendly for all our slow pokes out there.
 
Guess he never heard of matching revs.:nixweiss



I thought he was making it up until I saw the pics. Wow.

By reading the responses it reminds me of how friendly OUR forum is.



Yeah, probably a huge age difference between newcelica.org and this forum. I would venture the average age of a member there to be about 20. Probably a little over that here just from all the expensive cars people post pictures of :)
 
I gernaded the engine in my Chevelle at 6500 rpm. It wasn't pretty. One rod was twisted 90 degrees and the big end was completely gone. I found 4 lifters, 3 pushrods and 4 lobes of the cam in the oil pan and I holed the block. I'll have to post the pics when I get back from picking up my kids this weekend.
 
Oh man, some people have more money and enthusiasm than brains. :rolleyes: The weird part is he didn't seem all that concerned. Way to turn a state-of-the-art engine into an enormous paper weight. :angry: :down
 
I see some "holes" in the kid's story. I think the guy was trying to upshift to sixth gear. Must have been a hamfisted driver to miss that badly and hit second.





Scott, how did you grenade the motor on your Chevelle? Overrev, or ????
