A few things: My car has 350000 km on it and the transmission is fine, you can load the parking paul like that without problems. I’ve worked with many mechanics over the years, none of them have seen that pin break. Also, you do not need to shift to neutral, just pull the parking brake before you release the foot brake.
Yea I agree with you that it’s not gonna break that easily but it also depends on the inclination of the surface. If you are parked on a flat surface most of the time it doesn’t rly matter but when on a hill it really starts to take effect.
Well I will tell you though my 99 f350 dually with the 7.3 has a broken parking Paul. The biggest pain in the ass too. Can’t park on anything steep. The E brake holds it on a slight grade but that’s it. Fairly big job to fix but I’m about to get er done
Might not break, but when you're on an incline it'll be difficult to get it back to D. I've had a car get stuck that way. It would not release from P and took a tow truck to pull it uphill for just a few inches so as to release pressure.
that is true first you have to have your brakes applied then you can shift in p but some people shift in p and then release their brakes before applying the hand or emergency brakes
Not bad info, you can also just keep your foot on the pedal break. Then shift from D to park, then pull e brake, all without letting foot of pedal brake.
You are not understanding the fact that what ever brake you apply first is where all the tension is going. Thats why if you park first and then hand brake, when you go back out to car to leave and you release the handbrake, the car jerks and the shifter feels very hard to Move to R or D
Y'all are overthinking this. You really just can go from drive to park. Just make sure to engage the parking brake if you're on anything steeper than a slight incline before putting it in park. Those parking pawls aren't as weak and brittle as you think. I used to do the same thing as what the video described every single time I parked my car and all I ended up doing was ruining my parking brake cable. Not a very expensive repair, but it was still preventable.
I think the more correct procedure might be to shift to N and active parking brake, THEN release the brake pedal (so you make sure the car weight resides on the parking brake), finally shift to P.
thats how i do it too, and everyone definitely needs to do the same especially when parking on a incline to make sure all that gravity is being held by the hand brake
@@victorp.r.muller6614 it depends on your auto box . Some auto have transition lock instead of e brake these tent to rock the most this is from toyota e cvt bring vehicle to a complete stop using foot break . With foot on break select park and engage hand (e) break. Never stop with car in neutral Hyundai tucson torque converter gear box the Same. .

Nothing will be scrapped, that's how is designed to work, put it in park- pull handbrake ( you still hold footbrake while actuating the parking brake so the car will lock in the same place )
I always put my foot on the brake first, pull the hand brake up then shift it into P for the last 30 years. To drive away, apply my foot on the brake pedal, release the hand brake, put it in D then let go the foot brake.
He forgot the most important move. When you put the car neutral. You engage the hand brake. Before you put the car in park. You have to release the floor brake. If you don't do that, you missed the trick.
@@mustang4928 you my friend are wrong but not really. As long as you have a good foot brake pressure you’re ok. But normally take it out of park before you release the E brake
It will only rest there if you take your foot off the brake before you set the parking brake. As long as your foot is on the brake you can put it in park and set the parking brake in whichever order you choose without damaging anything.
See what I like to do is slow down to around 30 mph and then push the brake and put it into park as fast as possible before the car comes to a stop. You must do it this way. Your transmission will appreciate it for sure.
Apparently this guy has never figured out how to keep the brake pedal depressed while shifting into park and only releasing it after you've engaged the parking brake. The only time the parking pawl is under tension is if the car rolls enough the hit it because the parking brake wasn't engaged.
Everybodys saying to keep holding the brake when applying the handbrake. I've been doing this for years. Shift into park, handbrake then release foot brake. The car still struggles to get out of Park when on a hill. No matter how you go about it, the car will always rest on the Parking gear and NOT the handbrake. You must first shift into Neutral, apply the handbrake then LET GO of the foot brake allowing the car to rest on the handbrake, then foot back on the brakes, shift into Park then let go of the foot brake. This way the car rests on the handbrake and not your transmission. People are saying you'll be fine as long as you keep your foot on the brake when shifting from Drive to Park and then handbrake. THE CAR STILL RESTS ON THE PARKING GEAR AND NOT THE HANDBRAKE. How hard is it to understand.
I disagree. I apply foot brake, shift into park, hand brake, then release foot brake. I know it's the hand brake holding my car in place because if I had of released the foot brake right after putting it in park my car would roll back slightly. So therefore the hand brake is keeping the car in place.
Thanx for da info I've been doing it wrong for such a long time ,as we speak am experiencing the very problem you talking about So we starting the car which steps to follow to avoid future problems
Neutral is only for long waits at traffic lights, Im a mechanic by trade and have never seen a gearbox failure from parking the way you described. its ok as long as the vechicle is stationary. and its not a locking gear its a locking pin on the Park setting.
This video is right. I own an automatic and my gear got stuck because I went from D straight to P after engaging handbrake without first stopping in N. If your car allows for that , that doesn't mean this video is wrong please.
I love the simple manuals. Why can't the automatic gearboxes have a robust parking mode equal to leaving a manual gearbox in gear? Were the engineers really satisfied with that little pawl?
This is wrong and correct at the same time. You can park directly in normal circunstances. BUT! If you park in a hill then you have to use the emergency brake first and the put it on P. You can put ot first on N first to make sure the EB is correctly set and next P.
Constantly shifting gears and having to press on a clutch pedal, having to time the release of the clutch perfectly, and hoping your car doesn't jolt and stall doesn't seem better to me at least.
Guy did extra steps for no reason. So when u arrive at your destination while continuing to maintain foot on brake: 1. Engage E-brake or parking brake 2.Shift vehicle to Park 3. Release foot brake
Most car manuals (particularly slightly older ones) will actually recommend pulling the parking brake before putting in park. However, I don't think it matters. I think most people find it natural to put in park first, then pull the parking brake.
Why? All the stresses are then on the transmission, where it should be on the handbrake. Transmission have failed because of this and people have been killed.
@@spencerburgess9181they are DESIGNED to be used this way.....what do you know that engineers that designed it dont??? Nobody has been killed either....😅
As long as the parking brake is on before you let off the brake the other steps especially the going to neutral before park is not applicable. Also. I live in Florida so most things are flat and my parking has been broke for the last 6ish years. It’s on the parking gear. P71 running strong though!
Im 56, I've been driving since I was 16 and never had a transmission problem because I didn't shift into parking correctly. As a matter of fact, I never use the E-brakes with an automatic transmission.
ideally in the last step , before you put the gear P, you need first to release the brake. In that way you are sure that all the car's weight is stopped by the handbrake.
Idk about this car but usually in most automatic cars u press on the break and then it will let u shift gears without damaging the transmission it usually doesn't have anything to do with the parking brake.
You have auto hold. Just leave auto hold on and when you're done driving, select park and switch off the engine. The parking brake will automatically apply and the service brake will keep the car stationary until the parking brake takes over, putting no strain on your pawl. When you want to move away, just select drive or reverse and press the throttle. Simple.
Ignore the comments that disagree. If you park on a steep incline/decline, let the car sit on the handbrake primarily, and only use the parking pawl as a secondary backup.
Uhhh.. you can also just keep your foot on the pedal break, then shift it into park and then pull the e-break without letting go of the pedal break. This guy is confusing people 😂
Done this always before because it did not feel good for me when the car was leaning in P then when you go away again you hear a boink. Only park your car on flat surface if you store it for long time and only P like a manual in gear. Then you dont have rust between disc and brake pads. But on a hill always first the handbrake and no leaning on your gearbox.
Ok and? What’s wrong with using newer technology, you may claim that it gives less control but paddle shifter and AMT in the car would give you the control you need and it’s more convenient
Keep your foot on the brake when you set the parking brake.
My car need to be off for the hand brake to work, so is it ok to swich off the car in N while stepping on the brakes, then aplly the hand barake?
Yes, this guy is stoopid. If you parked on inclined position, you cannot go to neutral without releasing the brake pedal
werd like y all the extra steps dont let go the brake until u set the parking brake and skip the non sense

If rhe parking is inclined. The pin will bear the car. If its flat its okay to go P directly.
Just Keep your foot on your break when setting the parking break.
you cant do anything with the gear lever without pressing the brake

Keep your foot on the break until the handbrake is engaged, most people do this without noticing
That's why manufacturers are getting rid of the gear level and use electronic knob instead.

Just keep the brake while shifting to P and 1-2 more seconds after.
when setting off do you put in gear first then remove epb or unlock epb then put in gear?????????
Thank you. Kept lookibg for this on the web. Very clear message without over explainging
When starting from P i can just switch off handbreak wihout going to N? Or should i do the same thing like when i was parking?

What about you will drive ? Should it be drive then handbrake or neutral - handbrake - drive? Im so confused 😢
