It was only momentary, up to nearly the limit before the car automatically shifted up of course, so hardly a severe length of time. Still worrying me though!

All these Motorsport/tuning professionals though always advise a far harsher break in with new cars, to bed the parts in properly. They say that an easy break in actually causes more damage than driving it hard? Supposedly, the piston rings need to be broken in quickly, and the slow break in process can cause potential long term leaks, through poor initial seating?
