How bad did i screw up?

So was driving down the road about 30 mph and noticed my rpms were like 2300 so i was confused, then i noticed i had put it in second (on automatic trans). So really quickly i threw it forward and it made it all the way to park. Horrific screeching sounds followed by me throwing it back into D about a second later....So I really dont think anything is bad, but im just making sure....

 

I didn't think the computer would let you shift into park at speed. the screech is concerning though. Any weird noises now?

 

it let my 01 switch into park if it was pretty quick you should be okay, probably some damage but itll take the abuse.

 

No it drives fine and everything so im not really worried but i was just making sure i didnt screw up the trans or anything

 

well if it drives fine than I wouldn't worry.

 

Your gonna have to lay off the pipe my friend!!

Park your truck on the hill, put in the P and see if it rolls down or stays in place. P has lock for tranny if you shift into P while driving it may have broken off.

 

Your truck is now worthless. It's going to explode leaving nothing but metal dust in a puddle of transmission fluid. I'll save you the disposal fee by giving you $100 for it...

But seriously, I did almost that exact same thing back when I was in high school. Nothing ever came of it. Make sure you didn't sheer off the park pawl by parking on a slightly sloped driveway and putting it in park without the emergency brake set. As long as it holds against the slope (and maybe you pushing it downhill) you're fine.

I wouldn't make a habit of doing that, tho.

 

I have to agree. I used to have an old K5 Blazer with the shifter on the tree. I was rolling at ~10mph and tried to go from drive to neutral and ended up going all the way to park. Had some horrible popping and grinding noises for about 2 seconds until the truck stopped.

I wasnt in a good mood at the time, so I said fuck it, put it back in drive and it drove fine for awhile. About 1000 miles later it would not shift past 2nd gear and I had to have it rebuilt.

Take the truck to AAMCO or your favorite shop and have them check the tranny out. If you did damage it, maybe you can get it fixed before it requires a full rebuild.

 

Thats now going to show up automatically on your car fax report.................

 

Did the park on a hill test and it didn't move so i think im good

 

Worth repeating; Don't do that again.

 

"I hope you know this will go down on your permanent record..."

 

First problem is that you're a Braves fan...

 

ive done this once when i was in a hurry but i only did it right before the truck stopped so it was only from like 2-5mph. and then i let one of my lady friends drive the truck facepalm and she did the exact same thing. havnt noticed any problems with the tranny so far, or the parking break in the tranny

 

You probably got a little bit of metal shaving in your transmission oil pan now, but should be alright. Don't do it again.

 

Should be OK, read these.

I did something similar to my Cherokee once - reverse at 70 mph. Quite the oops, I know. It was fine. Never experienced any problems for the remaining couple of years that I owned it.
