Drive something else for a couple days let your butt dyno feel something of less power and then hop back in the z and tell us how it feels, all I can say is it will be a lot of fun all over...

OP, most likely nothing bad happened, but it's hard to say through the internet. It isn't difficult to damage things by overrevving the motor. I can't tell you how many people I know that have destroyed a motor with just an overrev or two.

This is why synchro revmatch is stupid. I knew that would blow an engine sooner or later

SR would actually save most people, since you'd catch it before you actually put it in gear/released the clutch. Throttle overrev isn't a problem, mechanical overrev is.

Most people would catch it before putting it in gear, just like most people leave vdc on...

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.

you should be fine. I was at the drag strip once in my 350z and accidentally downshifted from 3rd to 2nd at redline in 3rd. The tach went all the way to the bottom of the gauge, well past redline, but only momentarily and it was just fine afterwards. I'm guessing I had it at around 8500 rpm for about a half second.

I missed a 3rd to 4th shift and went to second in my 90 Mustang GT with 3.73 gears in the rear. The motor hit red line but the crappy part was the back tires just drug so much that the car just started to slide like crazy.. Imagine doing 70 and locking the parking brake.. That's what it was like..

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..

I don't see SRM as a contributing factor, nor as a saving grace. If SRM blipped too loudly, you'd have about an instant in some cases before just throwing her into gear and releasing the clutch pedal.

Either way, this is scary. I've done it before. I've been driving manual cars for a long time now. I don't know if you've done engine or clutch damage. I think only time will tell.
