When I hit the gas, obiously the car won't go any faster because that's its threshold in that gear, so I start to hear the car get louder. What's happening when that happens? If i continue to step on the gas while being in just that gear, does it ruin the transmission? Or even when you're in a manual and you shift into second lets say and you reach your max speed in that gear, but you keep mashing the gas and don't upshift, does that ruin the transmission? Thanks guys!

in auto or manual you cant hurt the tranny as the ecu takes over at redline. downshifts wont occur if its out of range of the gear you select ie: you cant shift into 1 gear at 90 mph. also it will shift into a higher gear if it determines the revs dictate it ie; 6000rpm in 1 gear the ecu will auto shift to 2
now if you are running at 4000 rpm in 3 and slam it into nuetral you could have an issue or reverse. woulndt recommend trying it!!
