(2010-05-30 16:12:11) 1. Says: i was so sleepy i hardly recognized the RPM goin above 7000 in 2nd gear... until i heard my CRV screams... im so freakin worried will she be alright?2. Says: You'll be fine! Car's have rev limiters for a reason and CRV's are super reliable. You'll only do real damage if you keep you foot planted for a long time (like 4-5 minutes.)3. Says: As long as your car redlines at or above 7,000 rpm (which it probably does since I am sure it has a rev-limiter to keep you from exceeding redline) then your engine is designed to do that so no worries.PS
Please pay more attention when driving. You could kill somebody.4. Says: Just broke it in a little sooner, you now have a car with 100,000 miles on motor now. Honda makes very reliable engines, but like the other guy said, be careful, you could hurt more than your CRV. Tag: I accidentally reach above 7 RPM in 2nd gear on my car...?
