>f fuel can do.  Think of it this way, if you were going 90 mph and you
turned off the ignition and therefore fuel delivery but the car was still=

in
5th gear, your engine would still be spinning at say 4500 rpm.  Now shift=

into
2nd and watch the revs go up to 9000- over rev condition without any fuel=

delivery.

Make sense?

OK OK OK.      Wasnt thinking of a missed gear and letting the clutch out=
. =

You must have some butter synchos to be able to get your car in 2nd gear
when you were aiming for 4th.  I just never thought of that and I never
done it.  however, Ive done a REVERSE gear shift but it grinds like if I
was trying to do the 2nd gear shift from 3rd .  Ive only missed gears and=

gone passed redline as I was not engaged in any gear.    so, yes, the
mechanical forces, the kinetic energy of the car can and will spin the
motor to 10 k rpm if you completed a shift from 3rd at 7000 to 2nd.    I
agree.
