Exclamation guess i goofed. hope everything is ok.
so i was driving in full auto mode, just accelerating normally, when i accidentally bumped the shift knob up into neutral at around 40mph. rpm's jumped to around 5k. of course when they settled down i put in back in drive, (while still moving). drove the next day and everything seemed fine. any idea if i may have broken anything?

7AT has safety measures built in place for things like this. Basically, the car will not let you screw things up although, I'm sure you could find a way if you really tried!

But really, you could throw a dove at the engine and probably do more damage than the no damage you did.

on my drive home from the dealer ship with only 20 miles on the OD i was in 5th (manual tranny) and upon going into 6th i bumped the gate into 4th. SRM jumped the rpms to almost 6.5k rpm!!!

i know the feeling, but your fine. consider it you letting the engine know whats coming...

yea other than being an idiot, im pretty easy on her. im always gonna be paranoid after that POS pontiac grand am i had years ago, but i wouldnt even call that thing an automobile. an automobile is something that transports you from point A to point B right? just one of many examples of a trip in that thing, i was driving along (30k miles on the dash) and THE ENGINE FELL OUT OF THE CAR dragging it to a stop. true story

LOL, when I saw him worrying about revving to 5k in neutral I was thinking to myself "do you know the sh1t I put mine thru?? Bouncing off the rev limiter is nothing new to my Z"
