🚗 A reader asks: 'Have I been making a mistake all these years parking in neutral with the parking brake lever pulled?'
All the cars I’ve owned for the past 25 years have been five-speed manuals. I admit I’m a stick-and-clutch person who believes there’s more of a connection between car and driver through a manual transmission than an autobox.
First of all, if there is contact sufficient to move your car, the damage to the front or rear of your vehicle will be the biggest issue. Secondly, if the gears are engaged, especially first or reverse as Peter mentions, which have the lowest ratio, the driveline would effectively be"locked-up" and the force passed along to the weakest link, the grip between the drive wheels and the surface of the road. You'd see skid marks where the wheels failed to move with the vehicle.
Kudos to you for turning your wheels while parked on an incline. All too often you see where drivers fail to take this important safety step.
