What happens if you shift out of park into drive with the engine off and does this damage the transmission?

moving the shift lever from park to drive or any other position with the engine off will not hurt anything in the transmission. in an older automatic trans by moving the shifter from park to drive the shifter is mechanically atatched to a lever which is attached to a manual valve inside the transmission. since the engine is off there is no pressure in the transmission so nothing happens. on a newer auto trans the shifter is attached to a lever which moves electrical contacts to do the same thing as the old mechanical trans lever.
