Alright, I've gotten in a couple of spirited drives recently and two times have missed a shift.  Both times, I hit the gas and quickly let off, but not before the tach needle dipped in to red.  It hit probably about 6900rpm but I didn't feel fuel cut off or anything like that.

How bad is this for the engine?  Am I going to blow the motor.  I hate when I misshift, I really need to get a short shifter. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
