Watch out for these symptoms, but you'll never be 100% sure. Something might show up in 2000 miles too.
Did not notice clicking and really don't think it got that high on the tach. Certainly no higher than i've hit while accelerating.

I am about to go turn it on again and see if anything seems unusual. After this event occurred, I still reached upwards of 7000 on my way home (but only during acceleration). I probably should have taken it easy - but i really was in denial at that point. I kept telling myself "there's no way you got that high, it would have showed lights and warning all over." It wasn't until i got home that i started to freak out again and write my OP.
