OOPS: Stuck in P while driving..

[dammad]

Okay, before I start this post. I'm no fool, idiot, etc. This was done as an complete accident... So now I've got that out of the way...

I had an early flight last week and so jumped in my '99 996 tip to head to the airport. Got 10mins down the road and got a phone call on my cellphone. A bit sleepy I stuck it from M to D to grab my phone... Except you guessed it, my sleepy old brain had one of those moments and stuck it from M straight to P while heading along at at least 50 miles per hour...

A ticking noise was the first I noticed of this a second or two later. It sounded like something not engaging, but nothing loud or horrendous. As soon as I had processed what was happening, I quickly got it back to N and then back to D.

Car continued to the airport without any problems. M still worked, D still worked as did P (when I stopped and started again).

So the question is, I am in for some trouble. It appears fine, but wanted to know what I should be looking for in case this thing is on a short path to failure now.

Back in high school I had a car that I did this same thing to it. It did fine, it just made a horrible noise when it happened. I do not remember any problems after that. Hmmmmmm, So long ago.

Brings back memories.

Mythbusters said must cars will not let you go from drive to park at speed. So I would bet Porsche would want to keep you from doing this too.

Good to hear. You can select P but just get a ticking noise (no loss of drive).
