Default did I destroy my impact driver?

I made the mistake of using my Makita 18-volt impact driver as and
impact wrench, trying to loosen a frozen nut, and I'm pretty sure I
damaged the it (the driver, not the nut, which I eventually removed
with a ratchet wrench, which is what i should have used in the first
place). Anyway, now the impact driver works, but there's some play in
the chuck where there wasn't any before. Have I destroyed it? Is it
repairable? Or is the repair likely to cost more than a new driver
Thanks....
