All you did was grind your starter against your tranny gears. You'll be fine.

You just distroy your flywheel and starter gears. You'll have to place them both. Possibly damage your clutch too.

I used to work at a carwash and when my surpervisors would drive the car into the tunnel they would forget that the car was still on and they would crank it when it was already on. Nothing happened to any of the cars. Your fine, dont worry about it.
