I nearly hit the same fate a while back. I knew immediately that I hit the wrong gear though, and didn't let the clutch out. Thank god. Glad to hear the car is back on the road OP.

I'm actually curious what overrev would show up in the DME report on a Porsche though in the same situation (not OP, me) if any. I.e., no money shift -- just shifting from 4th to 3rd on accident, but not letting clutch out, and then shifting back into 5th after. I don't think the computer's rev match would rev the motor past redline, so I assume it's actually not an overrev at all. I think bouncing off the rev limiter (in gear) DOES generate something along the lines of a range 1/2/3 -- though not sure. 4/5/6 can be the risky ones.
