When vehicle is in park and the emergency brake is set do you let the emergency brake off first before putting in gear or do you release it prior to putting it in gear?
I was always told to push the brake pedal down first, then release the emergency brake, then, if you have a clutch, push that pedal down put it in gear and go! The same for an auto trans, and the point is so that you don't have the cars weight on the pin inside the auto tranny that locks the transmission in park. Also you wont be putting the cars weight on that first gear in a manual tranny. hope that helps?!
