Dude don't listen to people when it comes to down shifting from 2nd to 1st unless they have driven southern California (stop and go) traffic. Down shifting into any gear will not damage a transmission as long as your RPM's are in a low safe place like 1900 to 2000 rpms. Iv you have to downshift into a lower gear just make sure you feather the clutch well disengaging and pressing the brakes at the same time. First off 8mph in 2nd is way too low of a speed in stop and go traffic to even be in 2nd gear. May want to stay in first and allow a larger gap and just move slower. Also the car sounds like it will be fine and you should not worry about it, things will adjust back to normal.
