Post Had a close call today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to jiffy lube to get a tranny fluid change today. I have a 5speed. It turns out they were pulling out the wrong pin (reverse pivot pin) instead of the drain plug. The gears would not shift after that, but luckily they didnt pull it out all the way so they were able to put it back in. It seems to shift fine now. Should i be worried about anything or would my car have seen the worst while leaving the shop? I drove it hard just to make sure and it seems to be in order. Got lucky i guess. What do you guys think? Should be safe? Please say so!!!
