I did that a few times until I learned how to shift a 6-speed with a factory shifter the right way. I always invert my hand on the 2-4 shift and that keeps you from pulling towards your body and hitting 2nd. I did it in a car with pushrods. Nothing bent and it was fine. If you had truly screwed the shift bad, you would have broken the rear-tires loose and made comment about barely keeping it out of the ditch--or not.

That being said...

The wheel bearings and axles did go out on that car, and the pinion-bearing spun. This happened 5-10K miles after the missed shift. Did it cause it? Maybe, maybe not. It sure didn't help the situation.

Only time will tell. I do think it may have shocked/misaligned the pinion bearing and led to the failure over time. Just my personal guess.
