1st gear at 65
Alright guys I did it now what can I expect. I was In town this morning and a fox body pulled next to me and started to pace me. So we ended up running from about a 40 dig. When I went for third I hit first. When I droped the clucht and the violent shutter unleashed I quickly pressed in and went to neutral. Drove it home with out any noises or problems. Can I expect anything to break now?

i kinda did that at the track a while back.... with in the next week i was leaking oil out from behind the balancer and had to pull it off and put it back on... it was close to shooting off...

putting it in first at 40mph isn't too bad. Worst case probably bent pushrods but it doesn't sound like you did. I will put it into 2nd at 60, and third at 90. You probably didn't even get to 7000 assuming you have stock 3.42's

Alright Thanks guys! Yeah Im still runing the stock gears so if they break it wont be such a bad thing, Ive been waiting for it so I could replace it with a nice rear end. The car drove fine today without engine noise. But I did notice a pop through the exhaust when feathering the throtle at take off. But Im thinking thats either a plug or maby a coil pack.

The Poping is not constant. It only happened 2 to 3 times in the 2 days after bad shift. Thas what was making me think it was plug, wire,coil pack, instead of a vavle.
