Is it possible to miss 3rd and go into 1? I was just wondering. What would the consequences be if the that happened? Earlier I missed 3 and let the clutch out about one quarter way and the car began to shake and the rpm's went to about 3 and a half and I said f*uck and never let the clutch out all of the way. Basically the car shook and i got all upset then i figured i bent a lifter or something but the car drives fine, and idles the same. Did i get lucky? What happened? Did i save myself from a castastrophe by not letting the clutch out all of the way?

Note to self: Kick me in the nuts.

If the RPM's went to only 3500, you have nothing to worry about. 2-1 misshift is VERY common, especially with stock shifters. Things start to break after redline, common things are bent pushrods and valves. You should be fine, you just gave your tranny a wake up call.

God that makes me feel better. Do you think i broke any tranny mounts? Are the mounts strong on these cars?

Unless you feel something banging the bottom of your car, I doubt you broke a tranny mount. I bet everything is alright dude might want to invest in a aftermarket shifter. If I get a m6 that is my first mod.

I've got a pro 50 shifter, I guess I just suck at driving. I'm never going to try to shift fast into 3rd gear ever again. I learned my lesson.

I did it on a track run. Most common thing is bent pushrods. I bent 4 of them on that run but you will hear a very noticeable tick if you bent the pushrods. If you only went to 3500 and don't hear any ticking you should be fine.

if I were you Id put it on a jackstand and visibly check the tranny mount or replace it with a poly mount.seen too many stock one go out.

Sure you won't.

Seriously, just practice. No one is perfect, we all miss a gear from time to time. Just take the time to learn your shifter better. All will be fine and you can speed shift the 2-3 all day long.
