IN SUMMARY: what damage would puting an auto into park while still moving do ? 2001 D2 TD5
Whilst driving the dog back from the park, my dog decided to change gears for me, how, I have no idea.
She slipped when going around a corner and managed to change from drive to park. If someine had told me this, i wouldnt have believed them given you have to 'pull the trigger' and push forward to move the gear stick and to go from D to P. Not something the average mutt could do.
Now, i understand that she should have been in the back behind the cargo barrier ( where she normally resides) but i have the fridge and drawers in, so no room. If she was to get a walk any time soon, she was riding in the front pass footwell.
Soo, i was turning a corner pretty slowly when this all happened and at first, i thought it was my fan chewing out my radiator seeing how only minutes earlier I'd just put on a new serpentine belt. Not what I'd call a 'happy' sound. The sound was the pin trying to locate and lock in place. I pulled over quickly, luckily it was a quiet suburban street as it could looked like one of my wifes attempts at reverse parking!
Once id figured out it was the loaded dogs fault, I put it in drive and putted off down the road.
It seems ok, just wondered if im up for some pain down the track, or if there is something i could/should do. I will be changing the auto fluid this weekend.

SubscriberSee if it now holds the car in park. If yes then should be OK, if no then you have zee problem. Probably more desirable to forget about Park if doesn't hold than pay thousands to have it fixed.
Make sure the handbrake is well adjusted.

My friends used to take great joy in doing this while I was negotiating round-a-bouts and other traffic hazards.
Guess who doesn't offer people lifts anymore

Good stuff guys, I may have dodged a bullet it seems. It still holds well in Park, fingers crossed it stays that way.

As Phillip said, if it's holding it could be ok, but make sure your handbrake is adjusted well.
We used to check Park Pawls with a "driving lock", which is done from about 60k's. The noise can be deafening and the end result is a little "lock up" as it stops. But R&D researching meant then that the transmission was the pulled out and inspected for damage. Sometimes the pawl broke, sometimes it didn't, but these were new vehicles, Fords, Ssangyongs and Mahindra's.
My boss thought it would be funny to move my car D1 V8 with his winch one night, he broke mine, but only just knocked off the tooth a bit, held most of the time, but I had to make sure about the handbrake.
One of the worst things you can do with an auto is to not Stop First, before putting it into park.

What you should really do is apply the park brake first and let that hold the weight of the vehicle, then put the transmission in park. That way you aren't loading the park pin at all.
AT REST
Yes - sure makes a noise, doesn't it?
The awful noise is the pawl rattling in, but not quite entering, the locking recess. If you got it out before it locked it should be alright - but as others have covered, check that the "P" operation is normal and get used to using the parking brake when switching off (if you didn't already have that habit)

I can well imagine the $ apprehension emotion surfacing post your little adventure. I guess that you got away with it though seeing as how the car is behaving itself. Great news.
It is normal practice at my house to stop the car, hold it via the footbrake, whilst selecting Neutral then apply the hand brake and after this carefully release the foot brake. If the car remains motionless then the auto box is moved to park.
How I ever persuaded Mrs Grumbles to do this every time she stops I'll never know.
