Quick newbie question on jacking a automatic car

What you’ve implied is not what I said. Stop trying to twist what I write. I did not say that some trannys are more prone to the problem than others. The potential to lock up the parking pawl on a hill, and even damage it trying to release it, applies to all automatic trannys. And no, the floor jack’s slight movement does not put enough load on the pawl to cause damage.

Oh, and a quick search will connect you with countless threads and websites on the subject. It’s a well known problem.
Your apparently being unable to find anything yourself, I’ve taken the liberty of putting a couple of links in to some.

For the record, I’ve never seen a million dollars either… but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
