Question:
While driving my car, I accidentally changed the transmission lever to "N" (Neutral) from "D" (Drive) (out of panic). I tried driving my car for a few feet, with lots of screeching and the tachometer showing quite high RPMs, when I realized what had happened. I quickly changed it back to "D" and was able to drive smoothly back home.
Is there anything I should be worried about ? What happens internally, in the car, when you try to drive it with "N" transmission level ? Should I get something checked for damage etc. ? I have automatic transmission in my Toyota Camry '96 sedan.

Nothing to worry about!does anyone know were the clutch fluid reservoir is on a volkswagon sharan?
it will be fine.96 Cutlass Ciera 3.1 L V6 that has OBD-II code1374?
all you did was put it in Neutral which means it was not in gear.. nothing to worry aboutI need to change the battery on my ford transit, help?
No worries, just dont try to do it again - next time you might hit "R" and then the fun begins! Your car is fine.Nothing is damaged when you do this unless you do it constantly.
THe transmission just changes to not accelerating when you pushthe gas pedal but if you immediately changed it when you sawq what happned, they you will be ok.

The car, that is.

Nothing. If you went from D to R you could drop your whole tranny, but D to N just makes it so your gas just revving the engine rather than turning wheels. N takes it out of gear.Is it normal for a 98 Isuzu Trooper with 100k miles to use 1qt every 1k miles?
Nothing, until you red lined it.... thats when the screeching sound came about. Have it checked out, It is an older vehilce and may be ok, because newer engines that haven't been broken in can be damaged in this scenario.My car feels like it's skipping. Like it's not catching a gear properly.?
nothing happened it is made so that you can do that don't worry about itDon't worry, everything's fine !
i have a 2000 ford f-350 with a 7.3 diesel?
This is actually designed into the car by the engineers. Cars are meant to go from Drive to Neutral for instances when you need to take power away from the wheels immediately, such as when you skid on ice. All that will happen is that your transmission will shift from the drive gear that you were in (dependant on your speed) to no gear. The lack of resistance from no gear will cause the engine to rev, and if you hold the gas you will blow the engine. However, if you take your foot off the gas, and allow the engine revolutions to decline there should not be an issue. Just try not to do it all the time. High revs are bad for the engine.Oil change afew hundred miles later then 3000 miles is that bad?
Don't worry about it. If you knew how to drive manual, you would not be stressing. The RPMs were going up because you still had your foot on the gas. Sort of like when you are in park and you press the gas.At what point can you take a new car back?
There was no damage and no need for concern. If you threw it into reverse...that would be a whole different story...only try that with a rented car :)
how do you replace the valve cover gaskets on a 1989 toyota, 4wd v-6?
Were you going down hill? that's pretty much the only way you could really go long distance in neutral. many people switch back and forth from neutral to drive when showing off engines. There is nothing wrong with your car and you have a toyota even better. You car is good and are you no worries ok.Am I going to have a problem with my Car Battery Or Alternator ?
There's nothng to worry about and nothing that you need to have checked. By putting the car in neutral you simply disengaged the transmission. This is why the RPMs shot up as you were still pushing on the accelerator while there was no load on the engine from propelling the car.Don't worry, you can not damage the tranny just by shifting to N from D while driving. Actually the cars are designed so you have this option (like neutral of a stick shift). As long as the engine is running, the transm. can maintain proper oil pressure and no damage can be caused. N means neutral, so there is no gear engagement, you van't drive the can in N. This is why the RPM was high.

I dont think there should be anything wrong it happens to the best of us. Ive had that happen to me and car is still going with no problemsI Have a 1995 Chysler New Yorker when key is turned in off position car still runs for 10 seconds?
When your transmission is in neutral, it is easier to get high RPM because there is no resistance from the gear box to slow the engine down.what is the white smoke coming out off my truck?
Ordinarily, this will not cause any real problem, so long as it is not prolonged. I occasionally will put the car in neutral or park and give it full throttle in short pulses while doing maintenance on the engine.
A screeching sound under these conditions may be a sign of a loose or worn fanbelt. You may want to have that looked at though.
