Hello everyone! Today, driving my manual car in the city I made a very stupid mistake. I tried to launch the car, shifting to the first gear without depressing the clutch pedal (I’d just forget, i don’t know). The shifter slides normally on 1st gear seems to me, no grinding noise! When I put on the 1st gear, engine just stall!
After this case I didn’t notice any problems with the transmission, but…
What could be the damage to my transmission, if any?
Is it a big deal to put on gear when the car idling, without using clutch?
