In a standard automatic car does shifting into Drive while reversing and going forward damage the transmission
|
Such as when leaving a driveway or parking space? Does it tear up your transmission, since there's no gear-grinding evident? And will the opposite do the same: Drive into reverse and accelerating?

Always stop completely before shifting to Park, Reverse or Drive.
When teaching my students to park the car, I instruct them to first apply the Parking Brake, and then shift to Neutral. This allows the car to "settle" before shifting to Park, which is especially important when parking on an incline, so best to develop the habit. By always parking in this way, the weight of your car is not pushing against the gear, which will eventually cause wear on your transmission and develop problems later on. Also have you ever noticed a "clunk" and resistance when you shifted from Park to Drive or Reverse when starting your car? That is due to the weight of the car pushing against the transmission.
When starting the car, I teach them to first shift to Drive or Reverse, and then release the Parking Brake before moving to maintain mechanical integrity. |

At very slow speeds it will not hurt your transmission if only done occasionally. If done regularly, it will damage the torque converter.
A torque converter is a form of fluid coupling that is used to transfer power from your engine to the transmission. It takes the place of a mechanical clutch, allowing the load to be separated from the power source. |

probably won't make it fall out on the ground, but it's not too good for it. |

Very simple, it is not the correct way to operate your car. |

Not recommended. A/T transmissions aren't cheap to rebuild. Is the half-second, full second you save worth the risk? |

at low speeds like coming out of a parking space this will not damage your transmission you have a torque converter in side your gear box which acts like a clutch this is operated by oil presure moving in two directions this prevents damage accuring when going from reverse to drive. at high speeds it would be to much presure and would cause damage. |

Since it is at slow speeds, I would say no. You are just wearing your clutch rather than brakes. Some say one is better than the other.

Since there is no direct link between the engine and transmission then at low speeds there would be no damage. The torque converter is a fluid coupling. I wouldn't do it all the time at any speed much higher than an idle. |

Yes it could do damage, you should always come to a complete stop before changing gears....... |
