Is it bad for a car to roll backwards in Drive?
Once you give the car some throttle to pull forward the pressure in the transmission and torque converter rise and the converter sends the engines power through the transmission and to the wheels. This doesn’t mean you can “floor it” in reverse and slam the car into drive… this shock certainly WILL cause damage!

Why does my transmission roll when I put it in Park?
When you put an automatic transmission into park, the parking pawl will swing towards the output shaft, and those few inches of roll or “lurch” that you experience are caused by the small amount of space left over once the pawl is engaged.
