Tranmision question.. regarding the b16a cable tranny

Hi guys.. i currently own a 89 civic hatch with a 98 GSR motor with b16a (cable tranny). jus wondering what happens when say.. u go into first gear and u go over the limited speed.. like u take 1st gear to 60-70km/hr when it can really only hit 50km/h. I did that one time and as i hit over 60km/h at 7000rpm... i heard this loud bang and the car shook.. after wards.. my foot was still on the gas.. but i couldn't go any faster than 60km/h.. i went into 2nd and the car drove normally.. i don't think i damaged my 1st gear because when i stopped on the side of the road.. and tried starting in 1st again it was still alrite.. i jus wanna ask if anyone knows what happens if u take a gear over its desired speed... (i know there's the chance of your engine blowing up taking it to high rpms) but would it damage your gears in a way too... Thanks
