Brake Set
I always park my car in neutral with the parking brake on and well set?
I have a 2005 Mercedes-Benz C230 kompressor it has a 6 speed stick-shift and i live on a small hill and every since my parents bought it for me (8 months ago)i have always parked it on the hill by my house and i always park in neutral and with the parking brake set. When we went to the dealership the man that sold us the car parked it the same way the parking brake on it is very tight (it only clicks 3 times when i push it with my foot till it is very firm) it is hard to set i have to push hard for it to click only 3 times and it is extremely hard to push any further. But my dad parks his jeep in gear with no parking brake and it stripped the gears and he had to pay over $2,000 to fix it and the mechanic said use your parking brake not your gears its $200 vs.$2,000.
So which should i do cuz im sure a Mercedes transmissioncost more to fix than a jeep transmission
Just use neutral and the pbrake, if you're parked uphill turn the tires away from the curb, if downhill turn them towards the curb. That way if your pbrake gives out for whatever reason the curb will stop your car.
