[QUOTE="Zeroed, post: 3947740, member: 98"] If its the Proton's Campro engine, the engine map itself is designed for the blip to happen. So no problems there. And yes, changing into gears which is unsuitable (low gears at high speeds) for the vehicle's speed may damage / cause premature wear to the gearbox, even without releasing the clutch. This is because the synchromesh has to overwork itself to match the input/output shaft of the gearbox with the low gear's rotational speed, which will be very high at higher vehicle speeds. This is due to the constant mesh gearbox design, you can google more about it if you wish but basically, yes, pushing the car into gear 1 even without releasing the clutch at high speeds will unnecessarily wear out the gearbox. Heel and toe basically matches the gearbox' input and output speeds, which is why when one performs a heel and toe the shifter slides in easily without the need of using the synchromesh, but with low gears you still cant heel and toe to 12,000 rpm so its still not advisable.
