[QUOTE="Brad, post: 2513963, member: 4683"] I'm getting onto the highway, slowly moving up the gears drifting to the middle lane when I notice some dense traffic coming up. The far right lane is clear so I go from 3rd to 4th to cruise by the upcoming traffic. I'm doing about 70, I can't explain what happened but I went from 3rd to 2nd. I can make excuses all day long but honestly the shift from 3rd to 2nd was a smooth transition and it felt like 4th. I’ve never so much as stalled any cobra I’ve owned let alone miss a gear like this. I got 50% off the clutch for a matter of 2 seconds not even. When I was half way off the clutch my rear tires chirped, my shift light went off and I saw tac peg, I knew I was in second. Ok so now I'm back on the clutch, go for 5th and cruise to a rest stop. Pop the hood, everything seems fine. I shut the car off for 10 min just to reflect on the retarded situation. I started it back up and listened for knocking, whistling, anything out of the ordinary, seemed ok. Then I pushed the throttle in for a few WOT revs, sounded perfectly fine. Cruised home 100% a/f perfect. But wow what a retarded thing to do! I’d suspect I was in the region of 8000-9000 RPM for maybe 1 second. I guess this isn't nearly as bad as running the car WOT to those RPMs but bad nonetheless. Any engine builders out there have anything to add, maybe things I should look for over the next few days? I'm planning on doing a comp test tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
