Potential issues after "money shift"..

[GrabberBargeCaptain]

clutch and rear end probably felt it more than anything.

Redline on throttle will limit and cut fuel and ign, but not on a mechanical over rev (there's nothing to cut). Also, mechanical over rev can cause filter collapse regardless of filter condition.

Understood. Thank you. Good Information

OP dodging the speed question makes me think high speeds were involved. If your oil filter collapsed, there's a good chance some damaged was done. Compression test won't show what you need - you need a leak down test. You should also pull the valve covers and carefully inspect the valve train. If you're uncomfortable doing that, find someone who can. If your mechanic says its unneeded, find a new mechanic.

Very much an accident

Not an accident. This gear shift/transmission defaults/spring loaded to center. Which means if unsure, let go and it’ll center between 3-4. Let go and it’s up into third or down into fourth. To go to second, you had to manhandle it to the left and down, into second. Maybe negligent, maybe not intentional, but not an accident. Maybe makes me a jerk, but it is what it is.


Not totally trying to be a jerk, just trying to help replay what you did. I only remake this statement because one of the things stuck in my head from track attack was “if you don’t know what gear you’re in or going to, just let go. Up to 3rd, down to 4th”. Greatest lesson ever.

Coyote 5.0 is interference safe. Thought Shelby would be safe as well.

The original questioner asked if intentional or accident. Better question would have been intentional or unintentional. He only responded to the question but almost assuredly his accident answer meant it was unintentional. And I respectfully disagree, you really don't have to manhandle to have it happen.
Hope it all turns out okay.

Did you lock up the rear wheels at all during this down shift ?

Agree with HB. At this point, the damage is done, but it's a matter of how much additional damage do you want to risk?

Either way, these engines are so fickle, if there is a bad test result, you're looking at a really expensive repair.

I think OP handled it about right— if it were me:

1. Immediately pull over and very carefully start revving the engine up 2K. If anything sounds or feels wrong, turn off and have it towed to the shop for evaluation (or just tow it in if it is already is clear there is a problem as you’re coming to stop).

2. If it sounds OK, start driving slowly to see if engine, power and driveway line sound/feel OK, and no evidence of smoke out the tailpipe. If something seems wrong, as in the case of OP, drive it in (or tow in if there is any unusual engine sound/behavior) for evaluation starting with simple and cheap first (eg, stethoscope, oil/oil filter check/test, driveline inspect, check for tailpipe smoke, and perhaps an emissions check for head gasket damage). Further investigate and fix based on what is found, and then retest. If I really banged it hard, I would do the above steps even it sounds OK.

3. Once everything is back to sounding/feeling normal, continue to drive carefully and monitor feel and sound.

Additionally, I have a 5 mile stretch of road where I check my mpg in a controlled way (basically set cruise control to 65 and travel 5 miles up and then 5 miles back the same route after resetting the Trip 1 meter each way after the set speed is achieved (LINK for details-just the last step-don’t need all the corrections). If my trip 1 reading is giving me something quite different than what I typically get, that might be a cause for concern and a reason to do more investigation.

4. Go back to normal driving over a week or two.

I would not dump a lot of money into taking the engine apart for diagnosis until there’s some evidence of a problem per the above.

Each person will have their own tolerance for risk - and budget to cover if they are wrong. Just my two cents.

Right about now I'm guessing the OP would love to have had his oil changed before he put his pony away for the winter. Perhaps he might have even thought about having Blackstone perform an oil analysis to get a baseline for his new to him steed.

Might not be a bad idea to drop $50 on one now even though the barn door has already been opened.

Just sayin...

An oil analysis now may tell a story or indicate any damage. Could be just the ECU adapted to low oil pressure when filter collapsed I'd get the oil tested, disconnect the battery for 5 min and wait till results came back.

matthewr87 keeps asking the right questions, and they aren’t being answered. Never like when guys tap the community here for input / advice, and then string us along. Give us full info to help, or don’t ask, just my two cents.

And agreed on doing more testing here before assuming all good - annoying, but much cheaper in the long run…

The collapsed oil filter is craaaaaazy, I've never heard of anything like that happening before.

Hello; Except for someone who has downshifted into 2nd gear at high speed, the rest of us are speculating. The shock of such has the potential for damage from the engine to the rear end. RPM's very likely went well beyond the redline. Perhaps the best guess is which components are the weaker links. The dynamics of such a down shift are different (reversed) from hitting the gas and running past the redline.
Back in 1965 I took rides with a fellow who drove a new GTO like a maniac. A couple of times he downshifted from 4th to 3rd at high speed. The engine made awful noise, and the fanbelt jumped off the pullies. I think some of the noise was the valve springs being overcome (float). Don't know the long-term effects as he wrecked the car before long.

Hello; I have been wondering how such happens also.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm, but collapsed filters have been an issue with the canister filters from 2017+, on the 500 as well. It's not exactly clear if it's because of improper installation or lack of reinforcement within the filter. That's why so many have gone to the 2087 (now -A, and it's less confidence inspiring).
