Dude, get rid of your car, ASAP!!! or get it checked out. Tranny problems are not fun, and could lead to some very costly repairs.

Hi,
I have a G35 Sedan 04 automatic, and while driving yesterday, I accidentally shifted my gear from D to Park while the car was in motion. I was probably going around 20-30 MPH. I don't recall clearly if I heard any clicking sounds. Right now, I don't have any issues shifting gears. When I put in Park, it does not roll but have not yet tried parking on a hill to see if it will roll. I don't what I was thinking. Will my car transmission be OK? Do guys know what could have happened to my transmission? Do you guys think I need to get it checked out in case something did happen or will it be quite obvious? Just want to have peace of mind. Thanks

FYI. You're also ALWAYS suppose to put the parking brake on before putting the car in park. That way the weight of the car doesn't rest on the transmission and doesn't shock the drivetrain when you take it out of park if the car in on an incline. That's why if it is on an incline it's sometimes hard to take it out of park.

1. depress brake pedal
2. P brake
3. put in park(5AT)/put in gear(6MT)
4. release brake pedal
5. TURN WHEELS IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION, my buddy lost his civic cuz apparently his parking brake was bad and his tranny musta been out. his car rolled down the hill and hit a tree :/
Turn wheels to the left if:
uphill, with curb
downhill, without curb
Turn wheels to the right if:
downhill, with curb
uphill without curb
now people should already know this, but apparenly some drivers here on driver try to park at 20 MPH
. Ya kinda shouldnt have your license if you don't how to park lol now if theres no curb its up to the driver. the driving manuals will pretty much say turn it so its away from the flow of traffic(off the hill -_-). i turn mine so my car would slowly roll into the flow of traffic. I've seen cars rolling(maybe sliding?) into the middle of the road and I just drove around em, but I know they saved themselves from needing a new car or a paintjob.

Ill add to the dead thread reading this
Bruises bro I would have burried him some where
My car must be wierd, but my dumbass friend was pissed at me right after i got my car and threw it in park going about 15mph. It was grinding and making wierd noises.
ß
Havnt noticed anything since, but boy, i havnt been so pissed. my arm honestly couldnt stop beating the living **** out of him. It was the wierdest thing ever. i was just enragged and couldnt stop hitting him lol He was covered in bruises after that incident.
How do you engaged shift lock?

Ive actually done this before but on purpose. My blazer cut off while coming to a red light. Brakes werent stopping me so i threw it on psrk to avoid hitting the car in front me. It worked n i luckily didnt mess up the trans. I wasnt going very fast tho. Maybe 15 or under
