Hey, I missed a shift today and the car hit the rev limiter...do you think this did any damage? I have done it once before also (damn third gear)

no it shouldnt do anything bad. Unless you do it a couple times a day and leave it hitting the rev limiter for a while. When I do donuts and burnout I hit rev limiter. Dont worry you should be ok.

where is the rev limiter at i don't i have ever hit it

tchamber

Yeah, what Jasper said, I've never knowingly hit it, though I have gone past redline before. Is it different from Foxes to SN95's?

Redline in my fox WAS 6150rpms
When you hit it it cuts FUEL, giving you a lean condition and will prevent the engine to spin any higher.
Lean is never good.
You can get a chip burned to raise the stock rev limiter if you feel it necessary, but I now count on my ignition box to limit my revs.
Which is now around 6700rpms

it's ok to bump it once in a while.

whats bad is you can float a valve, and if it hangs open , you'll break it.

or if you hit it on nitrous (which i did once) it can be very bad...i got lucky though.

6250 i thought

ive spun my turbo coupe to 6250 before i hit the rev limiter

FullAuto

It's 6250. And if you don't hit the limiter, how do you know when to shift?

well its kind of making a faint ticking sound is the only reason im worried...could just all be in my head though...
