Hi there,

We have all done this at some stage, you should not of caused any damage, a little bruising of the starter bendix ( thats the bit that engages the ring gear to start the engine turning) asc long as there is no strange noise when starting normaly, things should be fine. But remember, if you do this to often, you will have a problem down the road.
