Okay earlier today i has to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting the 4 car pile up i was inches away but, what i realize was i had it in third gear and the car shut off i didn’t have my clutch in so, after that my car fells very hard shifting into gear feels like im forcing it into gear. Help please does this cause any damage to the transmission or anything i should worry about. ---

It shouldn’t cause any problems at all. Maybe the hard shifting is just you worrying about it? ---
