Shifting at 5k+ all day long...

[sonic imperial]

Will it hurt the car to shift at 5k all the time? I know it will burn more gas/oil, but do you think the motor can take it? I also wonder if the clutch will wear out faster even though I shift it relatively smoothly. I don't do this constantly but at least 2 or 3 times a day it hits 5k in 1st and 2nd.

I'm always doing the same thing. And from my experience with Hondas....They're MADE to be driven like that. I wouldn't worry about it too much. You may wear out the clutch sooner than later...but that engine should be fine with doing so.

a couple times a day isnt going to hurt :)

My car wants to go to 5K all the time.
It just begs me.
If it was bad for it, I don't think it would be so
willing. Our cars were made to rev high, and I
don't think 5k is a problem. Or maybe our cars are
naughty, and sometimes they need to be spanked.:D
