It is true that putting your emergency brake protect the transmission from wearing? It's been said a lot to put on the emergency brake and then put it in park to prevent the transmission from getting damaged over time due that it hit somthing behind. Is that true?

It's a good concept/practice. By putting the parking brake on before shifting to park you remove pressure off the transmission's parking pawl. I've personally never heard of a (car or truck) transmission's parking pawl needing repair. It's bound to have happened though because when a parked car is rear-ended it could shear.it's been said a lot to put on the emergency brake and then put it in park to prevent the transmission from getting damaged over time due that it hit something behind. Is that true?
