HELP!! I misshifted 4th to 3rd!!!!
I missshifted guys!!! I need to know if everything will be ok? So I was merging into the highway shifting at 4K every gear and yes I know I drive like a girl, lol... but I wanted to go to 5th and accidentally went into 3rd... next you know rpms shot up to 4k-5k... I instantly put the clutch in and put it in neutral then proceeded to pull over when I saw that, I kept driving the car and then it drove normal, made couple of pulls and responds nice, now after that it sat at my jobs parking lot for 9 hours , turned it o, let it warm up and no weird smells came out of the engine bay , no new sounds... nothing! Do you guys think this is bad? Last time when it happened was like 7 months ago when I started driving manual

You're fine. Heck for merging, your G was probably happy to drop into 3rd, give you some extra pep to get into traffic.
I think redline is like 7800rpm which plenty of guys will pull all the way up to routinely. If you try and stay in it after that fuel will cut out to protect the engine.

7500. And at least on my car, fuel cutoff is pretty close to that.
If you were going 4-5 at 4000RPM, and instead got 4-3, you probably had enough headway in the revs to not spin it to 9000 and instead kept it under 7500. If thats the case, you're fine.

High RPMs, assuming you don't exceed redline, don't break your car, and aren't exactly abusive.

Googling something and dropping a page of results isn't exactly google disagreeing
Inifniti set the redline at 7500 rpm for a reason. Because it's within the safe operating range of the engine.

That has nothing to do with high rpm, and everything to do with missing a shift, aka "money shift"
