what damage could happen if it was put into park going about 10-15 mph. my buddys girlfriend got mad and did this and he wanted to know what it could do to the trans

Depends -- are we talking Subaru, or something else?

 

In general, it might damage the parking pawl, or whatever the pawl is supposed to engage. Or, minor or no effect.

Does it still hold the car when in Park? Can the trans selector be easily shifted out of Park to Reverse? Are there any new noises when in Reverse or forward gears?

Pulling that angry stupid stunt, I hope your buddy has broken up with that girl friend. I would hate to think what she could do, if she really really got mad!!

he's still with her. this is not the first thing she's done like that trust me. the car still seems to run good and park still works. he just wanted to know if this might cause problems later.

It most definitely will. He should dump her right now.

 

Happy Independence Day all!

[...]the car still seems to run good and park still works. he just wanted to know if this might cause problems later.

As far as the car goes, it will probably be okay.

 

As to the relationship, no comment.

There is an interlock that keeps the car from engaging park over a specific speed. Its made for "incindents" and Accidental" park engagement.

 

i'm sure there wil be other ways the car wont survive the relationship.

he had a chrysler cirrus before the subaru's very nice car. i never heard the whole story but she was driving that and some how rolled that one over. completely destroyed the car. from what i heard he is staying with her because he's afraid she will take off with their kid. i got him into subaru's and he owns 2 now a 90 ls sedan and this 94 he just got.
