This is a non CVT automatic car , and I had a habit of engine on coasting in Neutral , but at slow speeds.
At speeds higher than 45 MPH the shift was smooth from N to Drive, but under 45 MPH, the engine would rev really high before engaging the proper gear as I shifted back into D.

I fear this may have damaged the transmission.
What do you guys think ? From what I understand, the car is flat towable.
