With overrevving an engine on a wrong-gear botched downshift, the only safety fuse you've got is the clutch disk. In a nutshell, the rev limiter doesn't come into play when the motor is spun up with the driveline rather than with the loud pedal. Basically you better hope the clutch disk facings burst 'cause the disk spun up way over its intended rpm. If the clutch facings held, then you'd better hold your breath and hope that you didn't tweak the bottom end.

Sorry for the doom and gloom . . .
