Accidentally grinded 1st gear

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback guys. For the record I usually never downshift into 1st. Not sure what came over me but I thought I would give it a shot.

For the record I usually never downshift into 1st. Not sure what came over me but I thought I would give it a shot. I figured with SRM on, it wouldn't be too bad. Without SRM I would have definitely rev matched it myself. Oh well...

Just out of curiousity, how would one be able to tell if 1st gear is going bad? Typically with other gears we're able to tell when we upshift or downshift, neither of which can really be done with 1st gear since it's usually engaged at a standstill. If 1st was faulty, I'm guessing it would just not engage (in a standstill) or pop out of gear?
