No longer the case with the VAP tune. Just runs out of steam at 7000rpm.

Trans Damage / Strain
This has happened to me a couple times, where I miss the shift and bang off the rev limiter with a very aggressive back and forth jerk for a couple seconds. Curious as to what sort of strain this puts on the transmission and wondering if anyone has blown one as a result.

I heard that cacophony a number of times before the VAP tune. First gear is so low on the MT that 7000rpm is a far more natural shift point than the 6800rpm OEM rev limit, when reaching for the horizon. The VAP tune raises the rev limit to just over 7000rpm and eliminates the mortar fire when you hit it.

Just a little side note. I am arrogant. I feel I'm one of the best drivers to walk this Earth. Years of motorcycle road racing have made me feel immortal in a car. Class championships, My name in Road Racing World. New Racing Licensing instructor, Head Instructor of a large track day company and lots of other stuff to make me sound like a big deal. I have finally determined that the Jag's transmission in Sport Mode may actually be better than me. At the track, the difference in lap times was not noticeable. On the street, I have never hit the Rev limiter when in Auto mode. Sometime I pop it into manual, but that's mainly for the sound of a more aggressive downshift. When driving hard, the downshifting is quite impressive, too. I just let the car do its thing, Prior to this car, I had many, many sticks. For many years, I would only buy sticks. Now, I don't mind the auto.
