I don't think so. I've pushed my car, when in gear (5th), after winter hibernation, just to make sure the engine did not sieze, prior to starting. And to pull a fresh film of oil down. No issues. I don't do this anymore, but did in the past.

Maybe your right. I really don't know. Maybe the difference is pushing the car vs. an abrupt push/bang on the tranny.
