mechanical over rev

[SORS2000]

would a 6th to 3rd gear downshift at freeway speeds result in a mechanical over rev in an ap1?

if you gassed it after shifting, yes. if not, i'm not sure, it might.

I don't know what you call a freeway speed

I am pretty sure that 3rd gear is good for 90 miles per hour so if you were doing highway speed of 65 to 75 then you should be okay.

In my ap2, ive downshifted from 6th to 3rd going 70 miles per hour and i was at 7000 rpm so in an ap1, im pretty sure you wouldnt over rev. Be sure to downshift one gear at a time to rev match it correctly.

Well, how fast were you going?

there's no way he hurt it unless he put it in 1st, and good luck putting it in first going that fast... aint gonna happen

when friends get into my car for the first time and i end up on the freeway in 3rd they're like WTF

HA...I did put it in 1st once going around 60mph. Luckily, I noticed it and never released the clutch.
