I was taught to never keep my hand on the shifter, and let the gear go back to neutral, then palm it to the next gear.
Works great so far.
Most of the money shift I see at the track happens from people holding on to the shifter with a vise grip and ramming it from gear to gear without letting it go to neutral first.

The valves gave the piston a high^5.
If its like the M3 its just a case where you drop the gears too low, normally happens when you going from like 5th and you wanna chose 4th but you hit 2nd instead. The speed on the road though the ratio of the box causes the engine to rev over its limits and the piston hits the valves because they cant get out of the way in time.
Its called a money shift because its costs you money. Unlucky dude, not a nice thing to happen to anyone.

Doesn't matter what type of car, when you down shift to a gear, the RPM's will match the speed of the vehicule. If the RPM's are a couple grand more than the car's redline, there will likely be damage to the engine.
