Car put in Park while driving - Toyota Yaris Forums

reesesyum · 08-31-2009, 05:12 PM

While driving my 08 Yaris (automatic) this past weekend, someone put the gear into park while the car was moving at about 15mph (let's not get into why). The car made some awful noise which I suspect was the parking pin attempting to go into the gear. This lasted for about 10 seconds before I realized what was going on and put on the brakes. The car/shifting is doing fine.

My questions are: Is there any potential lasting damage to the transmission I should be on the lookout for? Is it necessary to have anything looked at by a professional mechanic?
