it's not necessarily over revving in neutral
it's called a mechanical over rev
say ur in 3rd gear and ur at 6000 rpms and you engage 2nd gear instead of 4th. the l15 would rev somwhere around 8k rpms. which would blow your motor. even if it's for a split second it could do major damage.
i've heard many many stories of mechanical over rev on s2000. some people downshifted wrong and revved the f20c motor to 11k. boom.
motor = done
while mis shifting and grinding just wears the synchros in the tranny
and mis shifting and revving in neutral just wastes gas lol
