how high were your rpms when you shifted into that gear? and how the hell do you misshift to 2nd gear instead of 4th? I can understand 2nd to 3rd but wtf. It's straight down.

and you're fine.

If it doesnt smell and still runs like it did before then your all good. Kids round here in shitty cars like ford fiesta's and citroen saxo's, and vauxhall/opel astra's redline theirs all the time going down the road in 1st and i see them doing that at least a few times a week. They'll blow their seal soon but hey if it was just once dont sweat it :thumbs up

It just depends how fast you were going when you were in 5th. If you were around 40-45mph, then your fine to shift into 2nd. Now, if you were going like 60+mph, you sir, will have some problems.

ive gone from 5th to 4th unintentionally while trying to upshift into that imaginary 6th gear on the highway :smackself. when youre cruising at 3500rpm your hand just instinctively tries to put it in the next gear :lol:

but 5th to 2nd :shock: that's a big leap!

I do that all the time, except my 6th gear is physically intact. ;)

OP said he was "GOING for forth gear, which means he was in third. He shifted into second instead of forth. He's probably a youngster and it can easily happen. I wouldn't worry to much if I were him, just don't make it a habit.

lol, I remember when I would drop my 91 vdub golf to 2nd from 5th just to get on the high way... good times.

Tranny never went, but the clutch did, then the car did.... through a fence and into a pole.
