the shaft spun a few turns? yeah you might have an issue considering it is bolted to linkage on the bottom and shouldn't be able to spin at all. Either you broke something or it didn't really spin, if you unbolted the linkage first then yeah it would spin but it wouldn't harm anything.
Edit: I would say it is more likely if it indeed did spin then you are more likely to have weakend the actual shifter itself and not the transmission if it still drives fine. it looks like the factory shifter is made from two pieces that are pressed and welded together maybe so you may have spun the top part of it and possible broken the spot welds, but even then i don't know if you are going to see any real problems with it.
