tranny torque lock.

It seems that i can only park my car at level ground , that means even the slight incline makes my tranny to go into so called torque lock , what some of you guys use to prevent this - parking brake does not help here.

It sucks when i have to drive around the parking lot's and look for almost perfect level ground otherwise it is very hard to put her back in to gear from P(park)

anybody experience this ????


P.S at least i;m not living in San Francisco

when you come to a stop, press the brake pedal, then put it in park, then but the handbrake on. it will work.

Nah, I don't know too much about the tranny lock, sorry, but I wanted to know where you got your clear lens for the front. They look great, much better than the diamond cut lens.

Let it settle on the parking brake alone before you put the car in park.
