did it not go in gear or did you go in the wrong gear? ive went into 2nd instead of 4th before and i was lucky as hell nothing happened. ive missed gears a few times(mainly 3rd) but my motor still runs strong.

if it runs like normal after you miss a gear it shouldnt be too big of a problem. if youre really unsure go do a compression test.

"is this bad?" haha that made me laugh... anyways... revving wouldnt hurt your engine at all unless you hit the limiter really hard... maybe... haha

its just like revving in place the car doesnt know the difference... and im not calling you all stupid or anything but how do you go to 2nd instead of 4th?? its just straight back! its easier than 1st to 2nd and waaaayyyy easier than 2nd to 3rd... i always get nervous doing a fast shift to 3rd

I'm sure many of us have done it, no matter how much experience you have...

And about 2nd to 3rd, I've known people to be in 2nd and attempt to go to 3rd and hit 5th ...
