Hello. I think you should be okay to drive for now. You may have not initially caused any damage, however, I would recommend keeping an eye on things and paying special attention to the way it drives and to any Check Engine Lights that may come on. If you notice any worse driving symptoms from the car or any warning lights coming on, I would suggest having a local expert diagnose the transmission to make sure that this situation is treated correctly.
