[QUOTE="JGG, post: 441254, member: 22180"] It got hot- temp gauge was pegged out and when I got out to look under the engine for an oil leak, the exhaust manifolds were glowing. My wife was driving (we had the top and doors off) and we’re on the freeway doing 70 mph. When she pulled off the side of the road, she noticed that the shifter was in 2 but doesn’t remember how it got there. Now I believe that driving in 2 at 70 can definitely destroy an engine, but I can’t imagine 70 is possible in 2 and you wouldn’t notice. With top off I didn’t hear high rpm and she didn’t notice any driving difference. [/QUOTE]
