hey, i was driving home with my starlet and was on my 4th going at about 120KM/h and instead of shifting to the 5th i shifted to the 3rd, i diddn't leave it on the 3rd when i saw that its not in 5th i quickly put it in neutral the car is driving normal but i can hear a little tiking sound in the engine now its not loud though, i'm driving on a ACT 6puk clutch kit. am i in trouble?
what could happen to the car?

could be release bearing... or injectors clicking just you never noticed before, changing down into 3rd isnt a big deal at 120kmh

sounds exactly like that to me -

Stock gearing graph - speed vs revs per gear

Stock gears easily do 120kmh in third- that's only 75 mph (they'll do 150ish on rev limiter). I'd consider worrying if you'd shifted into 2nd or first, but third is fine. the biggest worry is over-revving the car, which you'll not have done going into third at that speed.

The ticking will be (as said) will be the ICV or injectors or something :)
