automatic transmision, shifting while car in motion ?


a friend (who happens to drive a stick) was driving my Highlander ( w/AT={P
R N D 3 2 L}) , shifted the shifter forward from (D)rive maybe up through
into (R)everse and then back down into Drive while car was moving/coasting
at about 10-15 Mph

the car was coasting (not accelerating) as it was about to come to a stop

I did not feel any jerking or bucking or notice any abrupt movement or
clunkinging or any wierd sound from the Highlander when this shift was
performed ?


Ques :
Is there any chance that the tranny was harmed/affected by this type of
shift ?
What kind of problem might i look/listen/feel/test for ?


Related Ques:
When shifting from Reverse into Drive is it considered good practice to make
car come to complete STOP
before shifting nto Drive ?

-or- can one shift from Reverse to Drive while car is rolling backwards
(without harming tranny)?

Tia or any useful help
