mistake of my life...messed up my engine or something.
Umm i was racing a stang in a road full of gravel and when we took off he slid and almost hit my car...when i was paying attention to him i redline...then after i realized it i shifted...but then i did another mistake and grinded a gear...now its messed up and here is where im asking for help.
If i turn on my car and leave it alone the rpms idle up and down then it gives up and turns off...at high speeds(65 mph) the car seems fine except for something kind of rattling...also the gears seem more loose.

Your first and biggest mistake was street racing, the rest were caused by driver error.

Bouncing off the limiter won't hurt anything, neither will grinding an occasional gear, unless you are power shifting like a mad street racer.

What else happened? 3rd to 2nd?

sorry to hear that but comming from your "i <3 my dc2" I can only say that you just don't love heR as much as you should

first off street race is NO good, second if it was for me I always attempt to avoid ANY surface that have potential danger to (paint, chassis,) I almost crashed once trying to avoid a damn road kill racoon but this is just me

, wish you luck taking care of car problems

Any distinctive noises?

CEL codes?

We need more info to diagnose...

That's what it sounds like, but redlining (assuming stock redline) and grinding won't do that.

Oh and "racing a stang in a road" = street racing, whether or not honda's with big wings block off both ends of the road or not
