Shifted from 6th to 2nd trying to get to 4th. What damage did I do?

I drive a 2012 Honda Civic Si. I can't remember the rpm, but it was loud as hell. I immediately put it into neutral and then put it into 4th as my speed was 65-75 and I wanted more rpm to pass a guy.

Since this incident, I noticed that the power dropped substantially. The car seems to drag when I push the pedal to the metal. It doesn't get up and go like it used to. Usually, my car hits 4,000 rpm and you can feel the pre-vtec boost then by 5,000 rpm you get another boost. But it doesn't so it anymore.

I tried to get it to speed up, but noticed an odd smell like burnt rubber. I'm very worried I damaged the engine. Also the thermometer reads 102 degrees but it was only 89 out. What should I do? The engine doesn't sound like it's damaged. I hear no knocking or rough idling…

  • I'm trying to decide which bike to get between a 2007 gsxr600 or 2006 CBR600? I've been riding a ninja 250 for about 6 months now and am selling it in the next week or so to get a bigger bike. Both of these bikes are from private owners. The gsxr has 17k miles vs the honda having 25k. Both bikes are well taken care of. But i can't really decide on which to get. Any opinions would be helpfull
  • 5th & 6th gear issues, motorcycle? I have a 1984 Honda Magna 750. I noticed a month or two ago that 6th gear wasn't engaging. Then this weekend I noticed that 5th seemed to not be fully engaging. Wondering if anyone has an idea of what is wrong. Or can point me in the right direction.
  • Lease trying to get rid of vehicle I currently am leasing a vehicle and the lease is up in February 2018. I do not have good credit so when they refinance the car I know my monthly payment will be high. Because of family situations I know have to move out on my own. I can't afford rent and a car note. My car is leased through Honda. When the lease is up (I'm over my mileage already) can I just return the car and buy a car cash?
  • Honda Rebel makes clicking/grinding noise when shifted into gear I was driving it just fine until my rpms went high and it rolled to a stop. Could not get it to move. When I shift into first it makes a grinding noise and it won't even stall if I use the clutch incorrectly. Anyone know what it is?
