misshifted...am I alright?

i think you should be fine, drive the car around a while and lsiten for any noises i guess..but since you were going 45, that's no prob i think..

i remember in my SI
1 gear - 0-40
2 gear - 40-60
3 gear - 60-90
4 gear - about 90-110
5 gear - 110-140

it was something like that, second gear was short, and first and fifth was long

thats how my engine blew up...
i was doin 75 in 5th, and i was switching interchanges on the interstate, and to get the more umph, i dowed to 4th, but hit 2nd instead and my engine went POP...no more

so did your car get that extra umph..? =P

I am also worried about burning a clutch since I am not exactly very expert in manual driving at present. I used to drive my parent's 4 speed manual 1986 Corolla when I was in my teens a few years ago and the technique to make clutch meet the gas pedal half way through does not work for today's high revving engine since it revs like crazy if pushed anything beyond a gentle tap while the clutch is disengaged.

it u dun hear that fuel cut sound i think u are alright... plus i think 2nd gear goes up 50mph correct me if i'm wrong...

2nd will hit 60

Make sure you're not getting any weird engine noises. Other than that you should be okay.

i can usually make it to about 55 without bouncing off the rev limiter so you should be fine.

should be fine. Problem would've been if you had done that at 70-80. teh 1zz is not too fond of 8400rpms lol

its okay, my redline is 7500.... but it sees 7800 daily

for about 2 years now

Its gonna blow! just kidding. You should be ok. =P

yeh my 1zz's gear in 2nd is like right with the rpm....at 2 grand its 20 mph and 4500 its 45 mph, so I don't understand how it jumped to 5900 cuz i doubt they changed the ratios in 2002 from 2001

should be ok. if u were on the interstate and did that, damn. lucky u were going slowly enough.

You must be careful when you do that. That is one of the things I am worried about myself since I will have a six manual close ratio gear box soon ( 05 Corolla XRS) since the gears are spaced very close with short throws and when you downshift, there is no rev limiter to watch out for you. Any bad downshift on a freeway can make the needle race up to 9000 RPM. Although, the 8300 rpm redline makes things a little better. Right now I drive a 4 speed auto Corolla S so mis shifting is out of the question.

yeah, i can hit at least 65 in 2nd, 110 in 3rd, top speed in 4th, and 5th is just an overdrive gear. oh, and like 37 i tink in 1st, u should be perfectly fine.

YAH WAY! i even lost power steering and power brakes!..

u shoulda seen me, hah... doin about 55-60mph tryin to start my car

haha that's awsome..some integra behind you probably thought you had naws and did a purge right on highway, then stalled =P

my car has ben misshifted before down the 2nd at probably between 50-65 mph and it never went. But then it blew because it had no oil and i was bouncing off the redline repeatedly....oops

our 3rd ends at 83.

mine ends at like 76

yeah, but i've got an auto.

i think in the corolla (93 DX, 4spd) 3rd is the gear in which teh car tops out, cuz 4th is just overdrive, and 1st is like after 40, 2nd i think is around 70 or maybe more.
