Driving down to Castle fun park (mini amusement park with go carts and shit) last night. On the highway doing around 120km/h in overdrive (or so I thought) at around 2krpm.

Just as an FYI to help the story make sense... I've got 2nd, 3rd and overdrive to choose from since it's an auto.

Anyways, I'm in the slow lane behind a friend, and I go to pass him. I have to drop it into 3rd to pass people because I have no power in OD with 33's and stock gearing.

Well... My dumb *** unknowingly dropped it into 2nd by accident and like I always do, I put my foot into before it actually shifts so in about 2 seconds Im in 2nd gear doing 120km/h at about 5krpm. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I brought it back to 3rd as fast as I could but apparently not fast enough.

The I6's aren't high revving motors and apparently don't like going past red line.

I bent a damn valve, and have a nasty piston knock in the last cylinder. Sounds like a tractor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Instead of fixing it, since they're so common, I've decided to just find a good runner for $500 or so, and swap engines.

I ****.

 
Looks like you have no choice with the Jeep, but to do the 4.0L HO swap now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Yeah.. Looks like I know where that money is going now.

I might have actually found a HO from a '93. Waiting for a response from him.

An extra 20hp wouldn't be a bad thing..

 
The 20HP is always better. My mom didn't know how to drive hers and she missed gears all the time, down shifted on accidents, and it still ran 'DECENT.' Finally had to rebuild the motor after a year and a half of driving.

 
you were shifting in an automatic while not being at a complete stop?
Yeah....?

I don't know what that means but thanks.

yea dude what were you thinking? leave it in one of the other.
Why? It doesn't hurt anything unless I do something stupid.. like I did.

you don't have to be at a complete stop DA... you don't even have to hit the brake...
Winnar.
