Hitting Redline limiter - possible damage?

Recommended Posts

Went for a sprited drive and lost concentration of what gear I was in, the revs bounced off the limiter and at the same time I heard a pop from the exhaust end of car (although not too disimilar from what I've heard from the exhaust before when revving the engine), and also felt like it was braking - kind of juddered.

 

This obviously got my attention, so I whacked it up a gear and drove home. Popped the bonnet and it sounded like it was running fine and sounded normal

 

Q's:

 

1) Does this sound normal for the revs limiter?

2) What damage could this cause?

3) Why do I get so distracted when giving it the boot:rolleyes:

 

It's an auto by the way.
