When stopped in traffic whilst driving a car with automatic transmission, does selecting drive and applying the parking brake significantly damage either the parking brake or the transmissin?
Okay, what about if I am parked for an extended period of time?
If you plan on leaving the car parked for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you shift into park and leave the parking brake off to prevent wear and tear on the parking brake. However, again, it is best to refer to the car manufacturer's recommendations.
