Rev limiter question... Ok, I have a question that may be silly.... lol. But I'm not sure about it. In my '93 Z28 the tranny shifts early (like 4500rpm sometimes), so I have to hold it in gear manually and shift it manually. The only problem with this is that in attempting to get it as close to the redline when shifting I sometimes cause it to hit the limiter. So my possibly silly question is this.... does hitting the limiter hurt the car any?

LOL....just two weeks ago I went to the track (1/8 mile) and I was trapping 82mph pretty much every pass running a 8.7...everytime..I have an A4 car also with a stock rev limiter....For now...and on the last pass everything was in order to bust my 8.60...and I hit the rev limiter...it slowed me down 4mph and I ran a 8.80 on that pass. It just wouldnt shift when I wanted it to...I pushed it into 3rd at about 5,500 or so and it just ran on up and hit the rev limiter about 4 times before it shifted.....But on a side note I did Tree the **** out of the LS1 Camaro I was running...hit the rev limiter and still beat him

. But yeah, again I'm trying to stay off of it, but sometimes I just screw up a bit . lol.I did actually a while ago. It was shifting too high during normal driving. The issue with this though is that it shifts too early at WOT (aka weights and stuff) and so I have to shift it manually. Most of the time I get it to shift RIGHT on the redline, but from time to time it bounces off of it, so I just wanted to make sure.
