Help me settle this...broken gear synchro question
Hey all,
My friend drives a 95 tercel with around 100k miles on it and thinks he has a broken gear synchro.
Basically, he brought his car over one day and me, being the ass that isn't around a lot of stick shift cars, decided to just row gears a bit. Here's the catch: the car was OFF. I had the clutch in, just moving the stick in each gear. I didn't think anything was wrong, but apparently I forced it into second gear according to him and now it doesn't engage right.
Did I break his synchro or something?
Cliffs Notes:

Cliffs Notes:
- Friend has stick shift car
- I rowed some gears
- the car was off and the clutch was in
- now he thinks the gear synchro is broken
- second is hard to engage

I have shifted many of car with the engine off, clutch in, and i don see how it would have affected the car.
even if you did shift with out the clutch, nothing is moving, no gears, no flywheel, I dont see how this is possible
dont get me wrong, I could be totally off here, just makes no sense to me

He's just really frustrated with the car since he saved up to get it and it means a lot to him. I honestly didn't think any harm would come out of it, considering I've done the same thing in lots of cars (Zs, TAs, Camaros, Stangs, etc).
