Well, the car shifted gears ok, i think, but when i pressed the throttle all the way, the engine was just hitting high revs without changing to the next gear. If I just lift off the throttle a bit, the engine shifts to the next gear? Is this gearbox faulty guys? Thanks!
Could be normal, could be a throttle cable or linkage adjustment. It's something that is best handled by atech who is very familiar with the transmission and or search the web with your description.

Probably normal but it does not seem that way to you , having never driven one before, but it should shift at redline when floored.
