I accidentally drove for 8 minutes in second gear instead of drive.?
Today I drove my car, which is an automatic, for about 8 minutes in 2nd gear instead of the regular drive gear. Could that have done some damage to the transmission? Thanks.

Depends more on how fast, if the engine wasn't whining like a banshee you should be OK.

I doubt it. You did waste gas and blow the carbon out of the motor though.

All is not lost - you just have to drive the same distance in reverse to undo the damage.
