there was a couple of times I accidently pushed my a/t into N and the rev just went 'weee wee weee' at the cut-off point.

I hope no damage was done...only a couple times on the freeway.

6spd cuts off at 7300 RPM.

If you spend the $500 on stiffer valve-springs and titanium retainers... you valve won't drop in.

The problem is valve-float at high rpms... OR the retainer cracks and the valve drops.

FYI... the B18C motors (94-2000 GSR) had dual valve-springs on the intake side. Motor would not crack till 9K RPMS.

Rev limiter won't help you if you downshift at 9000rpm. It helps you if you stay in the same gear, but not if you drop to second while going 85.

2nd at 85

Well... depends on the car, my friend.

On my NSX, 2nd gear at 85mph is a 8300rpms, very safe!

I like THIS comment.....

Acura should be relieved of any responsibility for less than able drivers mis-shifting. If ya can't drive a stick, get a base model with auto or a tricycle!

STiffer valve=springs or rods or retainers will not help on a mis-shift. This guy on that post said the replacement valvesprings which look the same to me and no thicker. ITts these idiots that mis-shift need to learn how to shift the car right.

One of his posts (the pic of two springs) has a caption "The problem". No I think the problem was him mis-shifting.
