I can honestly say I've never experienced that before, but I can say I've experienced a real-world gearbox failure when my G25 wheel suddenly decided I was in neutral and I couldn't shift. I pulled over to the side of the road and spent a while trying to figure out what the problem was, but eventually I got it working again. :)

In all seriousness though, that must have been a glitch. The only type of "damage" GT4 is supposed to have is loss of engine performance over time due to wear and dirty oil, and I'm not sure you can call that proper damage.
