2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade Idle

So i accidentally red lined on the highway when i pushed it to the floor right after i turn off overdrive. and i looked into the damaging factors and it got me real worried cuz i do that a lot. so im wondering if this idle is normal or not because im worried about my first car and all. i want em to last for a very long time.

Redlining it a couple times won't hurt anything besides mileage, it can take a bit of abuse. Don't be afraid of it, it can take more than you think but don't be too hard on it.

Don't worry about it. These red-line at 6k/rpm's and have a rev limiter to prevent going over. Only way your going to damage anything is if it happens to be a stick shift and you shifted from lets say 5th into 2nd doing 70mph. These engines tend to have a slight shake at idle anyway (my 3.7L dakota does the same thing). Just keep the oil changed. :)
