actually...synchro-rev would save you in this situation. i know its saved me...i accidentally pulled the stick too far left as i was downshifting and the synchro-rev revved to redline and bounced off the limiter. once i realized it bounced off the limiter i let off the gas and pushed it into the correct gear.

in this case, i never mis-shifted per say, but since the computer automatically over-revved for me, i realized my mistake before it was too late.

I thought our cars had rev limiters on them...

all modern cars have rev limiters, however a rev limiter wont save you from a mis-shift. the limiter will only stop the engine from revving too high during acceleration...but if you downshift from say 5-2 at 60-70mph...you will likely land over the redline due to how gearing works..

Yes! I did the same thing. The shift gates are fairly narrow as we know, so it's pretty easy to go into 2nd instead of 4th if you're not careful. But when I got the shifter over to 2nd the SRM kicked in and revved up the engine about to the red line. I caught my mistake before letting out the clutch and no harm was done!
