Over reving

[Andyk1801]

So this afternoon I accidentally dropped from 5th to second gear and the engine revved up as you would expect when you shouldn't do that... No I think I got te clutch back in before it bounced off the limiter. Just out of curiosity what is the potential damage that could cause? I'm a bit worried everything seems alright but just incase ought happens in the next day or two...

Thanks

If you'd damaged something doing that you would know about it.

Either spat a rod out the side of the block or snapped a valve. If it drives fine forget it ever happened.
