So when I was learning how to drive a while back I was a bit rough on the family car. Now I try to keep an eye on the transmission. The car had seemed to be in a stopped position but there was still some rotation going on & when set on park the car would jerk front & back. It happened about 4 times in total & even till now I wonder if the transmission has taken serious damage from that. Its my moms car & I'd be hoping to fix the trans soon if something may be wrong with it. The car drives fine & does all shifts from speeds fine. No creaks or jerks while driving. Thanks.

 

dafaq did i just read....


how about info on car...make, model, trim, etc...also a better description would be helpful of the issue...

 

Sorry man mobile right now. The car is a 2007 Toyota Corolla CE. All it was was when driving & the car is slowed down quickly & put into park. The car swings back & forth in a rough fashion.

 

So you jammed the car into park while still moving? For God sakes do not buy an S2000 if you haven't already.

 

No I didn't jammed it. Or else I would've felt the gears grind but the car swayed back & forth since I stopped quickly & put it into park right after I stopped. I'm just wondering if there would be substantial damage to the gears if there was some sort of damage. Like I said this was when I was learning. I try to baby that car now after how dumb I was when I learned. I just want to know to possibly get some of the gears fixed when able to. Also to keep in mind that if any problems are going to arise later in the cars life. Personally I want to fix my moms own car if anything would be wrong with it before I get mine since it was my fault when I was learning.

 

 

if you didn't break the park pawl i wouldn't worry about it those things are quite tough for their small design normally. If you would have broken it you would know as you would be describing an actual complaint not an oops...did i f@#k up mommies car??? does it feel ok now? or not i still can not understand from you being "mobile" get to a computer and finish a rational thought please

 

Yeah naw that was when I was learning man that it actually happened. That was almost 3 years ago. I'm just focused on getting that fixed like I said before I get my own car. Still ill be sure to finish my rational thought next time & get to a computer.

 

unless the vehicle has exhibited any issues nothing happened, people do that all the time i hear people slam it into park all the time at work and hear the grind from the parking gear and 99.9% of the time nothing happens i wouldn't worry about it unless its not staying in park or the shift selection you put it in.

 

God, I feel retarded trying to decipher what you are trying to say... seriously feel dizzy and I cant eat now. Thanks a lot
