Help! Parked doing 60!

Fran335 · 03-09-2008, 10:01 PM

I do not know what to do; this has never happen to me before.

Fran335 · 03-09-2008, 10:02 PM

What are the worse consequences?

I thought you could only goto neutral if you press up from drive. The only way to go into park would be to press the actual button in....

If you drive it now and there is no noise then you might be fine, either way pay attention next time and DONT PRESS THE BUTTON

Hope you didn't damage the transmission.

I have accidentally tried to down shift while in D, but it didn't go all the way to P because I didn't press the button - it went just to N.

Exactly, I did this today actually. If you do this and then put it back in drive I dont believe it is a problem, or at least not in my car.

If you put it in park that is a whole different story....

Should I go to service for them to check it. I dont really know how i did such a stupid mistake.

If you drive it now does it react normally?

Fran335 · 03-09-2008, 10:10 PM

I guess, it doesn't do any noise or anything but if i broke something i dont want a piece of metal in there going around the gears.

Fran335 · 03-09-2008, 10:13 PM

Can that actually happen?

If it drives normally and doesn't make any noise I think you are ok, but if you really want to take it in then do it.

Play dumb... you didnt do anything! If something happens take it to the dealership and say it just started acting funny.

This is what i should do definitely.

Fran335 · 03-09-2008, 10:20 PM

I should stick to the paddles. I guess this happened because im not used to the shift knob.

PLAY dumb? going to P from D doing 60 IS dumb...no need to play

lol

Fran335 · 03-09-2008, 10:53 PM

Shit i knew someone had to make fun LOL. It was really stupid.

asdflkijd · 03-09-2008, 11:04 PM

the other day, when I was driving into my driveway, I placed the gear into reverse at around 5mph.. which is fine because its a safety feature that puts the gear in neutral. but when I tried to put it to park the car make a loud clunk noise like you described, from what I believe that is the safety mechanism to stop the gears so you wont fuck up your transmission... i took it for a drive and it was fine, no noises, even went to WOT, the DS has never been better.. the reason why I did this was because I was testing to see if it would be ok if I got the UUC Shadow shift knob, since it does not have a release button, etc etc..

test concludes, I shall order the knob shortly!

Fubarysky Jr. · 03-09-2008, 11:15 PM

To be honest I wouldn't worry too much about it. Most modern transmissions have certain lockouts to prevent damage. If something broke then you'd need to take apart the tranny to find/fix it, which is what you'll have to do anyways if something starts to make noise down the road. I'd just drive it as usual and see what happens. Most likely, nothing. If something does . . .come back and delete these posts and then take it to the dealership under warranty

. If something does happen, I'll be happy to edit/delete my post as well hehe.

ween0t · 03-10-2008, 12:09 AM

lol... P going 60? crazy

O-cha · 03-10-2008, 12:57 AM

Don't you have to have your foot on the brake to put it in park or gear?

Fran335 · 03-10-2008, 01:02 AM

I hope I dont get any problems because of this s***. Although Im still worried since i got a message in the i-drive screen: Reduce speed completely into a stop before putting your car on parked...something like that; and:your car transmission may get damaged! I couldn't really read since I was really mad at the time. I forgot to mention this earlier.
