Is the impact significant when the car is pushed while in P gear?

[LeArthur]

One or two pushes won't have much impact. The function of the P gear is to lock the transmission gears when parking, where a locking block engages with the transmission gears to prevent wheel movement. Pushing the car might cause the locking block to disengage, but generally, one or two instances won't cause any issues. Here is some additional information: 1. P gear: Parking gear, used when the engine is off or the car is stationary. P (Parking) is used for parking purposes, employing a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing it from moving. When the car needs to remain stationary for an extended period or before leaving the vehicle after parking, the handbrake should be engaged, and the gear lever should be moved to the "P" position. 2. Precautions: The P gear should only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped; otherwise, the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. Additionally, automatic transmission vehicles are equipped with a neutral start switch, ensuring the engine can only be started in "P" or "N" gear to prevent sudden forward movement if started accidentally in other gears.
