Car - Toyota Celica 1997 ST. 7AFE.
I was driving at about 60 - 70 mph. I accidentaly shifted in to reverse while driving like 3 times while trying to change to 5th gear. Each shift lasted like 3 to 4 seconds in reverse at those speeds.  I know I messed up. Did I damage the transmission?

Back on topic. OP, if reverse still works, you're golden. As stated above, the grinding noise is one gear bouncing off of another. If you had actually managed to get the car into reverse, then either the reverse gear would be destroyed or else your wheels would have locked up. The teeth on the gear itself are likely affected. Do that enough and you won't have a gear anymore. But if it still works for now, then lesson learned, and you should be fine.
