Many things could cause this condition. Here's a small list of some common things:

  • A broken axle shaft/ drive shaft
  • A stretched/ broken shift cable
  • Damaged shift linkage/ shifter assembly
  • Internal damage to the transmission, i.e. a broken parking pawl (usually caused by and outside force like improper towing)

It could be many things,loose or damaged shift linkage or build up of dirt in between the transmission housing or it's loose or out of alignment. More than likely what you are describing are bad syncros in the transmission. Syncros are brass rings inside the transmission that hold your gears in the proper selected range. when worn they allow your selected gear to pop out.

Would always driving in AT 'HOLD' mode damage the transmission?

"Hold" mode tells the transmission not to shift, or to "hold" a particular gear. This is useful occasionally when towing, or while climbing long, moderately steep grades. Continuing to drive in "hold" mode under normal conditions will cause extra stress on the engine and transmission, due to excessive RPM, or lugging the engine under too few RPM. You will also lose fuel economy, and power in some cases, depending on the gear you tell it to "hold".
