When parking on a hill which gear would be best to leave the trans in, 1st or 4th? I say 4th, friend says 1st...for some reason in my head im thinking 4th will be harder to turn the engine over...but its been a looooong week!
or easier to slip the clutch. My old man would never leave the '53 or '57 Plymouths in gear when parked; said if someone bumped you, could chip a gear. Of course not too many steep hills in Fresno, and old MOPARS had a POWERFUL parking brake on the driveshaft.
