this is my first manuel so:
when you park your car do you leave it in gear or in neutral?
is one better then the other?

 

when on a flat surface i just leave it in neutral, if your on a hill with your car facing up the hill i put it in fist gear, and if the car is facing down i put it in reverse

 

ok thanks, thats what i do also i just had to make sure it wasnt bad for the car

 

Why not just always leave it in first? The whole "if the car is facing down" thing shouldnt matter... the engines compression will keep the car from moving.

Always leave it in first gear, always use the parking brake... never park it in neutral, unless it's running.
That is my philosophy... what is the point of parking it in neutral, anyways? Why risk it?

 

I use 1st mostly, and sometimes reverse if im going down, just a habit i got into, dont think it really matter tho.

 

It really doesn’t matter; it’s more of a safety thing. I always put mine in first or reverse, so if the parking brake fails somehow, the tranny will stop the car from rolling. IMO its always best to put it in gear.

 

Its manual , not manuel[:'(]

 

I was going to say something but then I realized I can’t spell worth crap in the first place so I have no room to talk.

 

I can't be parking in gear... just got the alarm with the remote starter.

 

i do neutral on falt surface and parking brake but on a hill i always use 1st.
