haha 3rd to 2nd, whoopsee daisy. Thank god ive never messed up a shift like that. Closest ive gotten is letting the clutch out a bit to early and feeling it grind a bit.... That scared the hell outta me, i would **** my pants if i over-revved my engine like he did.

Rep Power: 308 For a second, I thought that was me 
Well i didn't do it that bad but yeah...it was late and i was tired. I shifted from 3rd to 2nd and i almost wet my pants. If I were driving an rsx that that guy was, I would be saying a LOT more than "O ****"

Rep Power: 0 LOL, my friend did that exact same thing in his 2000 Integra Type-R. Ended up having bent valves, only 2 cylinders were working. About $1,500 to fix at Acura. he had just gotten his car back from the body shop too.

Rep Power: 0 Pretty much anything that is not good for your tranny or is bad in a performance standard when racing. A bad downshift as shown above, letting the clutch out too early and grinding gears, shifting from 1st to 4th or 2nd to 5th when racing... those kinda things can constitute a mis-shift.

<---- even more rookie (don't even drive a manual). What exactly happens in a mis-shift? You shift to a lower gear from a higher one?[hr]

Rep Power: 0 All of you who are ******* that guy for misshifting - I'm going to LMAO at you the first time you drive a 6-speed and then try to do a 6th to 4th downshift and accidentally pop it into 2nd.
I've been driving stick for years, and the first time I drove a 6spd tranny, I tried to do a 6 -> 4 downshift and accidentally popped it into 2nd. The revs shot way up, but I disengaged the clutch before any damage was done.
The gates on the RSX-S 6spd tranny are VERY close, and it is a lot easier to misshift than you think.
