Lifted from elsewhere, but interesting images showing what over revving can do! http://www.network54.com/Forum/67242/thread/1174695837/Here%27s+todays+fooked+engine+-%29

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Doesn't the 996 have a rev limiter? JohnC 993turbo
POST 3Original post
Nothing can stop the engine over-revving if you are accelerating and go from (e.g.) 2nd to 1st.
POST 4Original post
If you downshift into first from flat out in second, no electronic rev limiter will save you! Of couse, a tiptronic won't let you! (smug look) [ ][ ] edit: Damn! - beat me again Mark!

...and I believe the on board computer logs this, so you are likely to be refused a warranty claim too.
POST 6Original post
That's right Kish, it records the number of times it has been over-revved. I did a quick calculation of the engine speed if you engaged first gear after having hit the rev limiter in second - 12700 rpm. Not much surprise it went bang.

I have the 997 S with what I believe is an Aisin gearbox - RR 6-speed Manual Transmission (MT) http://www.aisin.com/product/automotive/drivetrain/mt.html and it has triple synchromesh on 1st/2nd, double on 3rd/4th, single on 5th/6th and the feature that it will only go into gear when its ready. I found 1st and 2nd gear difficult, it's getting better, but if it's not stationary or close to it, then 1st isn't selectable.
