if this is in the wrong place let me know - but just wanted to throw out a quick question

to preface - im retarded...

driving home on the highway today, little tired a bit hungover...

was NOT paying attention, and went to pass, was going to put it into fourth (was going maybe 65mph?)

accidentally put the car in 2nd...

caught what i was doing, but not until the engine raced all the way just past red-line - put the clutch in - cursed myself, put it back into 6th, and drove the rest of the way home - no noises or weird rattles or anything - car seemed totally fine

i dont think when it happened i let the clutch all the way out - maybe 50% - so i dont think anything was ever fully engaged - but i was only like half paying attention, which is why it happened in the first place

any ideas? do you guys thing anything was damaged? anything i should look for?

car seems fine - i cant believe i did that... any input would be appreciated, thanks

I really wouldnt worry about it, you would know if you damamged something. over reving is more damaging when you are accelerating.
