Re: Uh-oh. Drove with the parking break on...

This is most likely much ado about nothing. It is highly doubtful you did anything at all to your engine or transmission. The excessive load you put on the drivetrain was negligible. Does your parking brake still work? As the car is rolling to a stop from 2 or 3 mph, apply the parking brake. If the car stops, the brake is fine. Your car has a seperate rear brake for the main brakes, they are uneffected.

Don't worry about it. People do this all the time, and the transmission shops don't get any business from it. It is probable that your parking brake is also fine.
