Re: Using the parking brake..........
Setting the park brake does take some stress off the park pawl inside the transmission. Other than that, transmission 'park systems' are designed to bear the weight of a car on a reasonably steep incline. I was a transmission design engineer for a few years before I went to business school, lest you thought this was anecdotal evidence [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
For what it's worth I ALWAYS set the parking brake. If for no other reason, regular use keeps it from seizing up.
