Serious damage could be done. Once you "miss a shift," the likelihood that the gear selector will slip out of gear the next time is increased. Its dependent on how long you grind away during that missed shift.

So, if it does happen, don't let it grind away. And have some spare gearboxes if you are at risk to this happening.

I'll bet that Technokats went through a few gearboxes during the development of their system to its current reliable state.
