i try

hold brake
put in neutral
pull e-brake
let go of brake
put in park

corrections if i'm wrong

 

I don't understand why this is even a concern and I don't see why you need to put it in neutral first or even pull the ebrake first. I just press on the brake, put it in park, pull the ebrake then let go of brake pedal.

 

Stop driving immidiately, put on a helmet, lock yourself in a padded room.

 

You forgot to mention the turning of the steering wheel, and letting it roll slowly downhill until the wheel touches the curb.

I understand the use of neutral to let your brakes hold your car up instead of the transmission. I think you can just press the brakes, put it in park, pull the e-brake, and then release the brakes. If you release the e-brake, the car will roll an inch before the transmission stops the car (or at least on the MT).

 

i think he does this because once you shift into D or R it shifts hard.
I see the e-brake will eliminate that instead of pressure being put on the tranny when sitting on a hill.

 

yep, just wanted to know if anyone else did this with an automatic

 

I do it with my car. I got that habit from a friend of mine that has a TL

 

Exactly. I always do it because of this.

 

It's always best to have the brakes fail on you first, than to depend on the tranny and have that break down instead.

The tranny should just be used as back-up in case the brakes fail ;-)
