Yes. You've probably damaged the spring binder assembly. Time for a new engine and gearbox. Also you might need to top up your blinker fluid.

Thanks mate. I'm here all week.

Seriously though, you'd hit boost/fuel cut before you do any damage to your engine.

Everyone at some point does this. Do it all the time it won't be good for it.

I used to miss that change occasionally, Cobb sts (on longest/highest) and a lightweight shift ball really helped what was obviously lacking in my technique. :)

It's all down to technique - in particular, hand placement.

I was taught to drive a manual by my uncle as he weilded a club-lock. Any time I held the gearshift incorrectly, I copped a wack on the knuckles. It's instinctive now... :)
