Any damage can be caused by this ? I guess I'm not used to giving wagon a heap often

Yes. You've probably damaged the spring binder assembly. Time for a new engine and gearbox. Also you might need to top up your blinker fluid.

Thanks mate. I'm here all week.

Seriously though, you'd hit boost/fuel cut before you do any damage to your engine.

Your engine will explode.

Everyone at some point does this. Do it all the time it won't be good for it.

Because his ability to grok car stuff must be directly proportional to his ability to read, interpret, understand and apply tax law...

I used to miss that change occasionally, Cobb sts (on longest/highest) and a lightweight shift ball really helped what was obviously lacking in my technique.

It's all down to technique - in particular, hand placement.

I was taught to drive a manual by my uncle as he weilded a club-lock. Any time I held the gearshift incorrectly, I copped a wack on the knuckles. It's instinctive now...
