I was drunk when I enter my garage the DSG was on D drive I shift it to P park without using the brake I heard a noise an my car stopped,
There is no problem on it but I'm afraid it might effect the DSG great box my speed was under 5 k.M inside the parking.

The only thing I would worry about is if you damaged the parking pawl inside the transmission. Its dangerous for everyone to drive drunk one of my brothers friends killed a whole family because he was driving drunk. He is in a wheel chair now and has been in jail since the 1980's.

Probably a loud clunk?It doesnt mean there was damage as long as park works and there are no unusual transmission noises I wouldn't really worry about it.
