Accidental Gear Change during Reverse
Hello All,
I have a quick question. Last night I was backing up my 8 and I accidentally threw it into Park while she was still in the process of reversing. A loud thump followed by a sudden halt. She seems to be unscathed, but please tell me...am I alright?? If so, I am curious what kind of implications this can have on a [this] vehicle specifically
Thanks!

Lol true story, I used to drive a ford expedition back when i was younger. I liked to pretend it was manual so i would drive it by shifting from 1 - 2 - 3 - D .... well one day i fuxored up and went from 3 to R ... BUCK BUCK SCREEEEEETCH - stall ...... as far as i could tell no severe damage to the tranny ... i'm sure it didn't like it though lol

That's not really true. There are several ways you can damage an A/T, and you CAN break the parking pawl if you engage it while moving. However, it sounds like the OP is OK, if it is still holding in the park position.
