Ever since I threw a rod bearing a week after I bought me car (WITHOUT even beating on it), i've been scared to throw something off
Yeah I know guys, I am not trying to be annoying, but I know I am posting a little too much. The semester is ending for me, and I have a lot of car questions now.

My motor has around 48k on it and i hit rev limiter a couple times a week. I recently moved the rev limiter down to 6200 though just because i thought that 6500 was a little high. One time i mis-shifted and hit 2nd instead of 4th going from the top of third and that ended up not causing any damage that i can tell. I mean my tranny hates life daily but thats just because it sucks and never had any of the TSB's done on it.

If you are under warrantee, Ford does the TSB's for free. Its kinda like a recall, but not as severe as a recall. Its not something that is a safety hazard, but something that could make you not happy with the car, so if you notice it they will fix it under warrantee. At least thats how i was told. Its too late for all of us to still get them done for free unless someone paid a ridiculous amount and got a really long warrantee for their cars from new. lol

Especially when my transmission is far from perfect! I can powershift my dad's Honda Accord effortlessly because his transmission shifts smoothly, lol. T45's are horrid.

Just a word to the wise so he doesn't cause anymore damage.
Power shifting is horrible on any transmission. Don't break daddy's ride. tisk tisk.
