Readlined!!!!!!!!!
I just recently got ahold of a 1998 SS A4 with 373's and some suspension work done to it. I was always told not to redline it but today i launched from 1st and then i accidentally shifted to Neutral !!!! I saw the needle hit 7k rpm and did the typical overreving sound (i think). I immediately let of the gas and shifted into OD (over drive). Will this have permanent damage on my motor? It seemed to run well afterwards. Fist time i do it and hopefully the last. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, sometimes from 1st gear to 2nd it shifts at 6.5k, normal? Doesn't stall or anything. Thanks.

Yeah it did hit 7K, and the wierd thing is that from a dead stop when it shifts into second, sometimes it shifts at 6.5k. Is the knowcking sound laud? Hopefully nothing happened. Thanks.
