Never Money Shift Your Car - Complete Engine Failure!

What is a money shift? With a manual transmission, if you want to accelerate as fast as possible, you typically shift at redline. Let's say you're at redline in 3rd gear, and about to shift to 4th gear. If you pull the shifter back, but accidentally put the transmission in 2nd gear instead of 4th, as you let out the clutch the engine RPM will launch way above redline. This is called money shifting, and it happens because your vehicle speed is too high, and you accidentally selected too low of a gear. Since engine isn’t meant to rev above redline, you can have valve float, and if it's an interference engine this condition is catastrophic, as the piston hits the valves. Goodbye internals.
