My dumbass friend blipped it to 3,000 RPM in Park. I'm still in my break-in period, too.

Will this occurence fuck over the breaking-in process?

 

doubt it, especially if it wasn't for long. besides, 3k isn't that high.

Can someone answer my question with some details?

 

3k rpm? Come on now, you're just overreacting. I've already redlined mine! The key is to vary the rpms a lot and keep away from the top end of the rpm band (like under 5k). I should HOPE you've already hit 3k and your friend's "incident" wasn't the first time. 3K is nothing with this car.

 

Okay I understand 3K is nothing, but this is while in Park. Shouldn't this effeect the tranny in any way?

 

Nothing to worry about.

 

You broke it!

 

Don't worry. The TSX has a fuel cut-off above 5000 rpm in park to prevent over rev. I think the system was primarily designed for people like your friend.

 

In PARK ? it's like just like belching...no farting, not shitting.

 

dont worry about it.

 

It's bad ass

 

wow

I think your break in process can continue as scheduled

 

I think this just goes to prove that young kids shouldn't own nice new cars since they have no clue about anything!

 

Reving an engine in park is like reving an engine it neutral -- nothing wrong with it. Calm down.

 

Now if your friend were to neutral drop it, that would be a different story.....

 

How did you get through life and not understand basic things such as what you post?

 

This is why I recommend requiring a course in basic car mechanics and maintenance for all high school students

 

Just like the ABS thread....

 

Just wanted to know.. it's a brand new car and I came from driving a 5spd so I don't know much about automatics..

 

I'm sure the car can be sold for parts.
;o)
Seriously (as they say in the psychiatric hospital), there can be absolutely no harm to your car from what your friend did. Absolutely none.
Enjoy your new TSX!

 

[homer] AH! Were all gonna die!

[everyone] AAHHHHHHHHH!!!

 

3,000 ?? dont baby it. You can rev these cars(hondas and acuras) very high. it doesnt matter if your in park, neutral or drive

 

It's worthless now ....I'll give you $100 for it.

 

just dont tell your dad or uncle or they're gonna spank yer ass.

 

And that is one of the reasons these cars are so much fun!!!

 

I'll double his offer!!!

 

Revving the engine in Park? All it does is scare all the squirrels. No worries.

 

Yes.

Don't let your friends drive your car.

 

No you didnt' do any damage to the tranny. If you were in park, the engine is pretty much reving alone by itself.
Now... 3000 rpms isn't too bad. However, i wouldn't rev it very high when it's not in gear because there's no weight on the engine. Freereving too high is not too good. But 3000 is not high at all.

 

Thanks everyone.
