So, driving spiritedly today, I was jumping onto the highway, and somehow, I managed to screw up the 3->4 shift and went from 3->2

The engine easily hit ~7.5k on the tach before I had a chance to clutch in. However, it didn't sit there, I caught it pretty fast.

Scared the living crap out of me, but, nothing happened, and it *seems* to be running okay so far.

What would be my best course of action to be make sure this thing's okay?

Car is totally stock, rebuilt not too long ago, but mostly stock.

I've got so far:
compression check
pull off valve covers to take a peek at all of that


Anything else I should do?

Appreciate any tips

alright cool, thanks guys :D

sorta assumed I would need to be doing some checking of some sort, but alright.

and, really, I wasn't staring at the tach (or speedo), based on my (likely) speed, it could have hit 8 grand, but, I'm not sure if it did. I just remember seeing it hit 7.5k.
