    Default bad for your transmission

    my friend does this alot, and i tell it that when you hear something GRINDING it is pretty fucking bad for your car.

    so he'll be going downhill near our house, and when he needs to stop quick or something (to say hi to friends and stuff) he'll just step on the breaks, and before the car stops fully, he'll throw it into park.

    all i hear is a bunch of gears grinding, but technically, what's going on, and in the long term will he generally ruin the car? (honda accord >auto<)

    Yea, its called a Parking Prawl. It's an arm that goes into a gear & prevents it from moving. It can break if you slam it into Park while moving fast!

    That is the dumbest thing I have ever herd. I hope he dies and you go to jail. Let him learn his lesson the hard way and fuck up his car and stay alive then let him run off the road and die cause your idiot ass took out his brake pads.

    Its called a parking pawl and it locks the output shaft to the transmission case. Let him keep doing it and he'll be putting a transmission in soon.

    If he doesn't even care about his/her car to come to a full stop to throw it in park, what makes you think that his/her e-brake can make the care stop?

    funny thing is that your "friend" has the same exact car as you... auto accord. One day your "friend" is going to park on a hill and when he comes back his shit is going to be gone.

    man you are one to talk shit about me. you make the stupidest fucking posts.

    and this post. Why dont you think of something useful to post about other than breaking an air freshener or throwing your car into park before you completely stop.

    cuz it's against the laws of physics and morality for 2 people to have the same car. i'm SO sorry to have offended you.
