It's only cosmetic damage. It'll buff out.

i couldn't get the car into 4th gear a few years ago at VIR.. thought it was a bent shift fork or something. Got back in the paddock area and drained the tranny oil... nice and clean. Pulled the lower case cover and 4th gear FELL out on top of me. The actual gear was in 3 major peices and about a bazillion (scientific unit) tiny peices. The syncro was non existent also.

Yours was in an NA car? Impressive!
