Transmisión Problem

I was driving my journey 2.4 SE 2012 on the route when suddenly  I put (by mistake) the transmission selector in P position. The car had stopped in a few seconds without extrange sounds and without alarms. After that, I put D and the car starter to go normally. I checked the transmission in all positions and everything is working perfect. The oil level in the transmission is ok too. I am afraid about some damage that could be produced inside the transmission that could give me problems in the future! thank in advance for your prompt answer! gabriel

The only damage you may have done is to the parking pawl (pin). That's the pin that keeps everything locked in place when it's in park. If the vehicle stays in position when you place it in park, then you didn't damage the pin and you should be all set.
