So I finally money shifted my FoST... I was going about 60-65 and instead of 4th I grabbed 2nd. Was probably over 8k rpm, hard to say exactly because I stomped the clutch almost instantly.
Dash lit up for a second then all the lights turned right off. Car made a funny noise until I got off the ramp and after turning it off for 5 minutes then turning it back on back to normal. I have an accessport so I looked to see if it logged that code it threw when I money shifted and there's nothing.
Am I fucked bros? I drove the car about another 20 miles home and nothing out of the ordinary so I'm fairly certain a piston didn't blast through some valves, but what else can a money shift fuck up?

You deserve it.
>this is why I dont buy used cars.
You must shift like a little bitch OP. Fuck you.

I've read a few instances of that happening, the car goes into "limp mode" to prevent any damage plus you have a rev limiter so that should prevent any crazy over revving.
All the times they've turned the car off and on and it drove normally.
Don't worry bro Ford knew this kinda shit would happen so they put measures in to prevent damage.
The funny noise is limp mode. Both the ST's will act like shit after something really crazy happens until they are turned on and off. Once you 'reboot' the car limp mode is turned off.
One or two money shifts over the lifetime of an engine are unlikely to take too much lifespan off it, and if you do any catastrophic damage you will know immediately. Lucky.

>Granny shifting not double clutching like you should
>>13816143
Rev limiter won't do shit if you downshift into too low a gear, dumbshit.
Lol, you fucked up. How the fuck do people even do this. 4th is the easiest gear in the whole thing.
Anyway, no point worrying about it, it's already done. You'll find out eventually if it shits a valve.
>>13816143
Rev limiter is only a fuel/air cutoff and not a mechanical limiter. Nothing is going to stop the drive wheels from over revving the engine if you drop to the wrong gear.
>>13816505
It's ignition, not fuel or air.

I hate all of you.
>>13816515
What would you rather do? Sit around at work all day on 4chan, or make money?
>>13816486
Yeah, this.
>>13816143
>rev limiter
>limiting revs when engine is mechanically locked to the drive wheels
You were dropped on your head as an infant, weren't you?
Lmao how did you even get that into gear if I'm going over 40 it's hard as fuck to get into second. I've got an escort tho lol
I did something like this once in my FiST because I was still getting used to driving a manual again. Scared the shit out of me, but the car is still going strong.
>>13816124
Ask your dealer, moron
Should still be under warranty
Anyone who says they haven't done this is lying or hasn't driven a manual transmission. You'll be fine. It happens when you're shifting into 4th in a rage. I'm sure you guys have never hit 5th instead of 3rd in anger too...or grinded a gear...or missed a gear either...right?
>>13816780
I've literally never hit 2nd trying for 4th. Fucking ever.
I've hit 5th trying to for 3rd, I've grinded first and reverse, but never gone from 5th to 2nd and I seriously doubt I ever will.
>>13816479
You never had me. You never had your car.
>>13816479
mah nigga
>>13816780
Shit I grind the gears like once every 2 weeks in my 2003 dodge Dakota. Terrible sound lol, still going strong @ 162k miles and I drive that shit at 90 on I-95. Ive only grinded gears at very low speeds though. Had a handful of money shifts too. I think you all are just scared. Op pushed in the clutch right away, not like he drove for 30 seconds at 8k rpm, it's fine.
Wow an st owner that can't shift gears. Wow.
Maybe you should learn to drive stick on a civic first before you go ruining perfectly good super cars. I want a used st one day and I hope to hell you aren't the previous owner.

I thought the ST Warranty period was only 30-something thousand.
>>13817595
It is. It's the fast version.
>>13816124
>Overrreving the engine for going 60 in 2nd gear.
Are the gears that short?

Oh no, OP is lying
>>13817865
Lots of first time owners have the ST so there's probably a ton of extended warranties.
>>13817912
This is a supercar, the ST is a hot hatch.
>be me
>drive 60 on the highway
>douchbag doesnt want me to merge and speeds up instead
>downshift to 4th and floor it
>no go
>downshift to 3rd and floor it
>more noise but still no go
>took maybe 10 seconds to climb from 60 to 75
>had to merge behind the douchebag's hyundai elantra
such is life of shitbox ownership
>>13818723
No that is an expensive car. The st is a super car.
Ok op just had an experience I was doing some night driving and it as dark as fuck I'm trying to eat a piece of pizza and I still manage to land the right shifts come on brah
>>13818886
The ST does not have supercar performance, looks, or exclusivity, it is a hot hatch. Don't pretend to be retarded
Don't worry about it. I money shift my on purpose. The engine will kill itself if it deems it to harsh. Try redlining sometime. As soon as you hit it power will cut off.
