Happened once, I was in a mood while on the motorway remembering how was it driving with a shift stick (back in the days). All of a sudden my right hand (I'm in the US) that was resting on the lever knob, for some reason acted and moved the lever from D to R (I was at about 65mph). Nothing happened (except my heart stopped a little), shifted back in D and no problems. Can even find a similar video on Youtube. Not recommending trying this, but these transmissions seem to be smart enough to my liking

Only just fallen on this post again after looking for something else, engine braking using the gear box if done right won't do any damage to the gear box. it's designed to take a lot of torque. Think how much grunt it takes to get 48 ton plus moving from a stand still, and you can always stamp on the exhaust brake and if fitted, flip the switch on the electronic retarder.

Not sure about modern cars, but back in the day there was a section in the owners manual that said do not tow above 30mph or you could risk damaging the gearbox. It also recommended disconnecting the propshaft if towing for any distance.

Is that with the engine not running though, so no oil pump being driven?

It's the engine braking I'm trying to avoid, want to knock it into neutral and coast further. |

Probably engine running as no power braking if engine is off.
