Random Snap>> The Dreaded Misshift

I have a lot of random automotive junk, and one of the things collecting dust on my shelf is this destroyed piston that I got from Type One. It's the remnants of a P73 piston (from a customer's DC2R) and shows the consequences of a rather high rpm miss-shift. Ouch.

This was a notorious problem back in the day, but I think most every honda owner learns the discipline of not fnf shifting their gears as shit like this happens and the transmission is the least of their worries.
