One night, I was driving home. A prelude blew by me. I wasn't impressed, but I did want to show him that the X-fire is not the car to mess with. Well, I put the car into second floored it, pressed the clutch, put it into third...SLIP!!! my hand slipped off the shift **** while I was letting off the clutch. All I heard was the grinding of gears. I probably shifted at around 5500 rpm. How bad is this on the tranny? This is the first time that this has happened to me.

 

If that's the first time it happened there probably wasn't any major damage caused. Grinding gears is something we all do, no matter how long we've been driving a manual gearbox.
