It's fine. All in your head

 

The EVO is playing mind games with ya !
**** happens

 

If the clutch is weak, that might be the problem. What happens sometimes is that the clutch tries to slip if overrevving. That has happened to me.

 

And then after cooling off the car would still be normal...

 

The EVO should be pretty bulletproof against overrevving, as long as you're running the stock ECU (engine computer). The rev limiter will kick in and you'll simply lose power. If you repeatedly bang against the limiter, that's probably not a good idea, but a one-off occurrence shouldn't cause any problem.

I hit the rev limiter on mine just once so far, in 1st gear. It felt exactly as if I had lifted off the throttle (which I did once I realized what I had done), and I didn't notice any problems afterward.

Note that you can overrev the engine quite badly and possibly cause serious damage if you downshift at a speed which is too fast for the lower gear. For example, downshifting into 2nd gear at 80 mph will definitely make your engine quite angry. Note that the synchros will often prevent you from just a disastrous mistake -- getting the gear selector into 2nd at 80 mph won't be easy -- but if you force it in and then let out the clutch pedal, you could have a big problem. Don't try it at home, kids.

 

Tis kewl!!.. All I can say is .. it's all "Psychological".. These cars are made to abuse.. Once you forget you overrevved things will be back to normal!!

 

Thanks for the thoughts guys............I am ok now...heheh....
